Terms for subject Environment (7005 entries)
moták lužní Montagu's harrier
motýl butterfly (Any diurnal insect of the order Lepidoptera that has a slender body with clubbed antennae and typically rests with the wings (which are often brightly coloured) closed over the back)
motýli lepidopteran (A large order of scaly-winged insects, including the butterflies, skippers, and moths; adults are characterized by two pairs of membranous wings and sucking mouthparts, featuring a prominent, coiled proboscis)
mozaika mosaic (A composite photograph consisting of separate aerial photographs of overlapping surface areas, producing an overall image of a surface area too large to be depicted in a single aerial photograph)
možnosti snižování emisí se zápornými náklady negative-cost abatement option
mramor marble (Metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized calcite or dolomite)
mrtvá dřevní hmota dead wood
mrtvá dřevní hmota deadwood
mráz frost (A deposit of interlocking ice crystals formed by direct sublimation on objects)
mulč mulch (A layer of organic material applied to the surface of the ground to retain moisture; mulching is the spreading of leaves, straw or other loose material on the ground to prevent erosion, evaporation or freezing of plant roots)
mutace mutation (A change in the chemical constitution of the DNA in the chromosomes of an organism: the changes are normally restricted to individual genes, but occasionally involve serious alteration to whole chromosomes. When a mutation occurs in gametes or gametocytes an inherited change may be produced in the characteristics of the organisms that develop from them. Mutation is one of the ways in which genetic variation is produced in organisms. A somatic mutation is one that occurs to a body cell, and is consequently past on to all the cells derived from it by mitosis. Natural mutations, at this stage of biological evolution, when they occur in the cells of higher animals, almost always produce deleterious characteristics. Both natural and artificial mutations can be brought about by ionizing radiation (hence the genetic and carcinogenic dangers of nuclear weapons) and by certain chemical substances called mutagens)
mutagen mutagen (An agent that raises the frequency of mutation above the spontaneous rate. An agent that causes changes to plants and animals, particularly to their genetic material and especially at the time of reproduction. Certain chemicals and forms of radiation are powerful mutagens that damage the DNA, or genetic material in the centre of every cell of a living organism)
mutagenita mutagenicity (The property of chemical or physical agents of inducing changes in genetic material that are transmitted during cell division)
mutant mutant (An individual bearing an allele that has undergone mutation and is expressed in the phenotype)
muzeum museum (A place or building where objects of historical, artistic, or scientific interest are exhibited, preserved or studied)
muzeum přírodovědné ecomuseum (A private, non-profit facility where plants and animals can be viewed in a natural outdoor setting)
mycety mycete (Nucleated usually filamentous, sporebearing organisms devoid of chlorophyll)
mykologie mycology (The branch of botany concerned with the study of fungi)
mykorrhiza mycorrhiza (The symbiotic association of the root of a higher plant with a fungus. In an ectotrophic mycorrhiza (e.g., heath, pine trees) the fungal mycelium covers the outside of the roots; in an endotrophic mycorrhiza (e.g. orchids) the fungus grows inside the cells of the root cortex)
mys headland (A cape or promontory jutting seawards from a coastline, usually with a significant sea cliff; geography)
