| Terms for subject Environment (15072 entries) |
| jord | soil (The top layer of the land surface of the earth that is composed of disintegrated rock particles, humus, water and air) | |
| jord- och skogsbruk | agroforestry (The interplanting of farm crops and trees, especially leguminous species. In semiarid regions and on denuded hillsides, agroforestry helps control erosion and restores soil fertility, as well as supplying valuable food and commodities at the same time) | |
| jordåtervinning | land restoration (The treatment of any unusable land usually by filling with refuse or levelling until the land can be brought into productive use) | |
| jordåtervinning | land restoration | |
| jordbävning | earthquake (The violent shaking of the ground produced by deep seismic waves, beneath the epicentre, generated by a sudden decrease or release in a volume of rock of elastic strain accumulated over a long time in regions of seismic activity (tectonic earthquake). The magnitude of an earthquake is represented by the Richter scale; the intensity by the Mercalli scale) | |
| jordbehandling | land development (Planning of infrastructures, services and industrial settlements in order to promote the socio-economic growth of certain land area) | |
| jordbehandling | land development | |
| jordbehandlingsplats | regeneration soil heap | |
| jordbehandlingsplats | soil heap | |
| jordbruk | agricultural exploitation (No definition needed) | |
| jordbruk | working the soil (Ploughing the soil for agricultural purposes) | |
| jordbruk | agricultural exploitation | |
| jordbruk | working the soil | |
| jordbruk i torrområde bedrivet utan bevattning | dry farming (A system of extensive agriculture allowing the production of crops without irrigation in areas of limited rainfall. Dry farming involves conserving soil moisture through mulching, frequent fallowing, maintenance of a fine tilth by cross-ploughing, repeated working of the soil after rainfall and removal of any weeds that would take up some of the moisture) | |
| jordbruk i torrområde bedrivet utan bevattning | dry farming | |
| jordbruk med begränsad användning av insatsmedel | low-input farming | |
| jordbrukets miljöpåverkningar | environmental impact of agriculture (Agricultural activities have significant impacts on water quality, including increases in stream sedimentation from erosion, and increases in nutrients, pesticides, and salt concentrations in runoff. In certain regions, the misuse of pesticides has led to the development of pesticide-resistant strains of pests, destroyed natural predators, killed local wildlife, and contaminated human water supplies. Improper application of fertilizers has changed the types of vegetation and fish types inhabiting nearby waterways and rivers) | |
| jordbrukets miljöpåverkningar | environmental impact of agriculture | |
| jordbrukningsmetod | agricultural method (Practices and techniques employed in agriculture to improve yields and productivity. Over the last few decades they have undergone big changes: tilling, sowing and harvesting have become increasingly mechanised, and the methods of applying fertilisers and pesticides have become more sophisticated. Many changes within the agricultural system can be summed up by "intensification". The result and aim of intensification has been to achieve increases in production, yields and labour productivity in agriculture) | |
| jordbruks- och boskapsindustri | agriculture and cattle industry (Large scale growing of crops and livestock grazing for profit) |
