Terms for subject Environment (13738 entries)
păşunat excesiv overgrazing (Intensive grazing by animals, for example cattle, sheep or goats, on an area of pasture. It has become a serious threat to the world's rangelands and grasslands. Several factors have led to overgrazing, which leads to the soil being degraded and becoming liable to erosion by wind and rain, and even to desertification. The main pressures leading to widespread overgrazing have been the need to increase the size and numbers of herds to produce more food for an increasing human population, and the transformation of traditional pasture land into plantations to grow cash crops. Throughout the dry tropics, where traditionally herds ranged over vast areas, intensive livestock-rearing schemes have taken over, mostly to provide meat for the export market. Well-digging operations have also led to heavy concentrations of animals in small areas)
păşune grazing (The vegetation on pastures that is available for livestock to feed upon)
păşune pasture (Land covered with grass or herbage and grazed by or suitable for grazing by livestock)
păşune meadow (Strictly a term for a field of permanent grass used for hay, but also applied to rich, waterside grazing areas that are not suitable for arable cultivation)
pădure forest (A vegetation community dominated by trees and other woody shrubs, growing close enough together that the tree tops touch or overlap, creating various degrees of shade on the forest floor. It may produce benefits such as timber, recreation, wildlife habitat, etc.)
pădure a zonei temperate temperate forest (Mixed forest of conifers and broad-leaf deciduous trees, or mixed conifer and broad-leaf evergreen trees, or entirely broad-leaf deciduous, or entirely broad-leaf evergreen trees, found in temperate regions across the world; characterized by high rainfall, warm summers, cold winters occasionally subzero, seasonality; typically with dense canopies, understorey saplings and tall shrubs, large animals, carnivores dominant, very rich in bird species)
pădure autohtonă indigenous forest (Forests which are native to a given area)
pădure de amestec mixed woodland
pădure de amestec mixed forest (A forest composed of several tree species)
pădure de cherestea timber forest (Forest whose trees are all in the adult stage and have reached the reproductive period)
pădure de conifere coniferous forest (A forest type characterized by cone-bearing, needle-leaved trees. They are generally, but not necessarily, evergreen and relatively shallow-rooted. Since they grow more rapidly than most broad-leaved trees, conifers are extensively planted as a source of softwood timber and pulp. They are tolerant of wide-ranging climatic conditions, of many different types of soil and of considerable differences in terrain. Thus, they are found from the polar latitudes to the tropics, on most types of soils (especially, thin acid soils) and from mountain summits to coastal environments)
pădure de foioase deciduous forest (The temperate forests comprised of trees that seasonally shed their leaves, located in the east of the USA, in Western Europe from the Alps to Scandinavia, and in the eastern Asia. The hardwood of these forests have been exploited since the 16th century. The trees of deciduous forests usually produce nuts and winged seeds)
pădure de stat state forest (Forest owned and managed by the State)
pădure măruntă coppice (A growth of small trees that are repeatedly cut down at short intervals; the new shoots are produced by the old stumps)
pădure mediteraneană Mediterranean forest (Type of forest found in the Mediterranean area comprising mainly xerophilous evergreen trees)
pădure mediteraneană Mediterranean wood (A plant formation found in the Mediterranean area comprising mainly lowgrowing, xerophilous evergreen trees and shrubs. It results mainly from the deterioration of the original vegetation by grazing and burning)
pădure montană mountain forest (An extensive area of woodland that is found at natural elevations usually higher than 2000 feet)
pădure naturală natural forest (A forest area that has developed free from the influence of humans and remains largely unaffected by their activities. The natural forest may include, but is not necessarily equivalent to, an old-growth forest)
pădure primară primary forest (Forest which originally covered a region before changes in the environment brought about by people)
pădure privată private forest (No definition needed)
