| Terms for subject Environment (6584 entries) |
| soil profile (A vertical section of a soil, showing horizons and parent material) | pôdny profil | |
| soil quality (All current positive or negative properties with regard to soil utilization and soil functions) | bonita pôdy | |
| soil resource (No definition needed) | pôdne zdroje | |
| soil salination (The accumulation of soluble mineral salts near the surface of soil, usually caused by the capillary flow of water from saline ground water. Where the rate of surface evaporation is high, irrigation can exacerbate the problem by moistening the soil and causing water to be drawn from deeper levels as water evaporates from the surface. The evaporation of pure water leaves the salts behind, allowing them to accumulate, and they can reach concentrations that are toxic to plants, thus sterilizing the land) | zasolenie pôdy | |
| soil salinity (Measurement of the quantity of mineral salts found in a soil. Many semi-arid and arid areas are naturally salty. By definition they are areas of substantial water deficit where evapotranspiration exceeds precipitation. Thus, whereas in humid areas there is sufficient water to percolate through the soil and to leach soluble materials from the soil and the rocks into the rivers and hence into the sea, in deserts this is not the case. Salts therefore tend to accumulate) | salinita pôdy | |
| soil science (The study of the properties, occurrence, and management of soil as a natural resource. Generally it includes the chemistry, microbiology, physics, morphology, and mineralogy of soils, as well as their genesis and classification) | pedológia | |
| soil settling (Compaction involves the close-packing of the individual grains mainly by the elimination of pore-space and expulsion of entrapped water; this is normally brought about by the weight of the overlying sediments) | usadzovanie pôdy | |
| soil stabilisation (Chemical or mechanical treatment designed to increase or maintain the stability of a soil mass or otherwise to improve its engineering properties, as by increasing its shear strength, reducing its compressibility, or decreasing its tendency to absorb water. Stabilization methods include physical compaction and treatment with cement, lime, and bitumen) | stabilizácia pôdy | |
| soil stability (Soil stability depends on its shear strength, its compressibility and its tendency to absorb water. Stabilization methods include physical compaction and treatment with cement, lime, and bitumen) | stabilita pôdy | |
| soil structure (The combination or aggregation of primary soil particles into aggregates or clusters, which are separated from adjoining peds by surfaces of weakness. Soil structure is classified on the basis of size, shape, and distinctness into classes, types, and grades) | pôdna štruktúra | |
| soil subsidence (A sinking down of a part of the earth's crust, generally due to underground excavations) | prepad pôdy | |
| soil texture (1. Refers to the relative proportions of the various size groups (sand, silt and clay) of the individual soil grains in a mass of soil. 2. Classification of soil by the proportion and graduations of the three size groups of soil grains, i.e., sand, silt and clay, present in the soil) | zrnitosť pôdy | |
| soil type (A phase or subdivision of a soil series based primarily on texture of the surface soil to a depth at least equal to plow depth (about 15 cm)) | pôdny typ | |
| soil use (Functional utilization of soil for agriculture, industry, or residential building purposes) | využívanie pôdy | |
| soil use regime (Type of management and utilization of the soil) | spôsob využitia krajiny | |
| soil water (Water stored in soils) | pôdna voda | |
| solar cell (A device for converting sunlight into electrical power using a semiconductor sensitive to the photovoltaic effect. Solar cells are used on space satellites to power electronic equipment, and as their price falls they may come to be used to provide energy on the Earth) | slnečný článok | |
| solar collector | slnečný kolektor | |
| solar collector | slnečný tepelný kolektor | |
| solar collector | solárny kolektor |
