| Terms for subject Environment (5171 entries) |
| land restoration in mountain areas (Measures adopted to control erosion and degradation phenomena in the mountain regions caused by the loss of forest cover due to acid rain, uncontrolled forest cutting, winter skiing resorts construction, etc.) | utbedring av skader i fjellområder | |
| land setup (The formulation of regional objectives, plans and programmes and the harmonization of the regional effects of sectorial planning) | områdetype | |
| land tax (Property tax. A tax laid upon the legal or beneficial owner of real property, and apportioned upon the assessed value of his land) | eiendomsskatt | |
| land transportation (Transport of persons and goods by a network of roads or railways) | landtransport | |
| land use (The term land use deals with the spatial aspects of all human activities on the land and with the way in which the land surface is adapted, or could be adapted, to serve human needs) | arealbruk | |
| land use classification (The arrangement of land units into a variety of categories based on the properties of the land or its suitability for a particular purpose. It has become an important tool in rural land-resource planning) | arealbruksklassifisering | |
| land use plan (The key element of a comprehensive plan; describes the recommended location and intensity of development for public and private land uses, such as residential, commercial, industrial, recreational and agricultural) | arealbruksplan | |
| land use planning (The interdisciplinary process of evaluating, organising, and controlling the present and the future development and use of lands and their resources in terms of their suitability on sustained yield basis. Includes an overall ecological evaluation in terms of specific kinds of uses as well as evaluations of social, economic, and physical contexts to the land concerned) | arealbruksplanlegging | |
| land use regime (Relation existing between the landowner and the tenant farmer who cultivates the land) | arealbruksregime | |
| land value (The monetary or material worth in commerce or trade of an area of ground considered as property) | landverdi | |
| land-based activity | landbasert aktivitet | |
| land-based marine pollution | landbasert havforurensning | |
| land-management intervention area (Any expanse of land which requires a person or agency with authority to interpose or interfere in how it is used or administrated) | arealforvaltningsområde | |
| landfill (The oldest method of waste disposal for the solid matter discarded in the domestic dustbin, along with the packaging material and paper from high street shops and offices. Landfill sites are usually disused quarries and gravel pits. When they were filled, previous practice was to cover them up with soil and forget about them. Housing estates have been built, often with disastrous consequences, on old landfill dumps. Waste burial has now become a serious technology and a potential source of energy. Landfill sites can be designed to be bioreactors, which deliberately produce methane, gas as a source of biofuel or alternative energy. Traditionally, waste tips remained exposed to air and aerobic microbes - those which thrive in air - in order to turn some of the waste into compost. However, open tips also encourage vermin, smell in hot weather and disfigure the landscape. In the 1960s, as a tidier and safer option, landfill operators began to seal each day's waste in a clay cell. While excluding vermin, the clay also excluded air. Decomposition relied on anaerobic microbes, which die in air. However, the process produced methane (natural gas), which was a safety hazard. The methane is now extracted by sinking a network of perforated pipes into the site) | fyllplass | |
| landfill base sealing (Sealing of a landfill with a relatively impermeable barrier designed to keep leachate inside. Liner materials include plastic and dense clay) | bunnforsegling av fyllplass | |
| landfill covering (The protective shielding, consisting of soil or some other material, that encloses disposal sites for compacted, non-hazardous solid waste, or secures disposal sites for hazardous waste to minimize the chance of releasing hazardous substances into the environment) | tildekking av fyllplass | |
| landfill degasification (Landfill gas is highly dangerous as methane is highly explosive; therefore it must be controlled at all operational landfill sites, whether by active or passive ventilation or both especially in the case of deep sites. There exist venting systems for shallow and deep sites respectively) | fyllplassavgassing | |
| landfill gas (Landfill gas is generated in landfill sites by the anaerobic decomposition of domestic refuse (municipal solid waste). It consists of a mixture of gases and is colourless with an offensive odour due to the traces of organosulphur compounds. Aside for its unpleasantness, it is highly dangerous as methane is explosive in concentrations in air between 5 per cent, the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL), and the Upper Explosive Limit (UEL) of 15 per cent. Landfill gas must be controlled at all operational landfill sites, whether actively or passively vented or both especially in the case of deep sites) | fyllplassgass | |
| landfill leachate (Liquid that has seeped through solid waste in a landfill and has extracted soluble dissolved or suspended materials in the process) | avlekkingsvæske fra fyllplass | |
| landform (Any physical, recognizable form or feature of the Earth's surface, having a characteristic shape and produced by natural causes; it includes major forms such as plane, plateau and mountain, and minor forms such as hill, valley, slope, esker, and dune. Taken together the landforms make up the surface configuration of the Earth's) | landform |
