| Terms for subject Environment (26921 entries) |
| Wildnisgebiet | natural area | |
| Wildnisgebiet | wilderness area | |
| Wildpflanze | wild plant (Plants growing in a natural state (not cultivated)) | |
| Wildreservat | wildlife sanctuary | |
| Wildreservat | wildlife sanctuary (1. An area, usually in natural condition, which is reserved (set aside) by a governmental or private agency for the protection of particular species of animals during part or all of the year. 2. An area designated for the protection of wild animals, within which hunting and fishing is either prohibited or strictly controlled) | |
| Wildtier | wild animal (Not domesticated animals living independently of man) | |
| wildwachsende und freilebende Arten | wild species | |
| Wind | wind (The motion of air relative to the earth's surface; usually means horizontal air motion, as distinguished from vertical motion) | |
| windblütige Pflanze | anemophilous plant | |
| Windbruch | windfall | |
| Windbruch | windfall (1. Falling of old trees in a forest caused by a storm or strong wind. It plays an important role in the spontaneous regeneration of forest ecosystems. 2. A plot of land covered with trees blown down by the wind) | |
| Windenergie | wind power (Energy extracted from wind, traditionally in a windmill, but increasingly by more complicated designes including turbines, usually to produce electricity but also for water pumping. The power available from wind is proportional to the area swept by the rotating place and the cube of the wind velocity, but less than half the available power can be recovered) | |
| Windenergieanlage | wind power station (Power station which uses wind to drive a turbine which creates electricity) | |
| Winderosion | wind induced erosion | |
| Winderosion | wind erosion (The breakdown of solid rock into smaller particles and its removal by wind. It may occur on any soil whose surface is dry, unprotected by vegetation (to bind it at root level and shelter the surface) and consists of light particles. The mechanisms include straightforward picking up of dust and soil particles by the airflow and the dislodging or abrasion of surface material by the impact of particles already airborne) | |
| Windgeschwindigheit | transport windspeed | |
| Windmotor | wind motor | |
| Windmühle | windmill (A machine for grinding or pumping driven by a set of adjustable vanes or sails that are caused to turn by the force of the wind) | |
| Windschutz | shelter belt | |
| Windschutz | shelter-belt |
