| acmhainn foraoise | forest resource (Forest resources consist of two separate but closely related parts: the forest land and the trees (timber) on that land) | |
| acmhainn fuinnimh | energy resource (Potential supplies of energy which have not yet been used (such as coal lying in the ground, solar heat, wind power, geothermal power, etc.)) | |
| acmhainn ghéiniteach | genetic resource (The gene pool in natural and cultivated stocks of organisms that are available for human exploitation. It is desirable to maintain as diverse a range of organisms as possible, particularly of domesticated cultivars and their ancestors, in order to maintain a wide genetic base. The wider the genetic base, the greater the capacity for adaptation to particular environmental conditions) | |
| acmhainn iascaigh | fishery resource (No definition needed) | |
| acmhainn ídithe ózóin | ozone-depleting potential | |
| acmhainn ídithe ózóin | ozone-depletion potential | |
| acmhainn ídithe ózóin | ozone-destroying potential | |
| acmhainn ídithe ózóin | ozone depletion potential (A factor that reflects the ozone depletion potential of a substance, on a mass per kilogram basis, as compared to chlorofluorocarbon-11 (CFC-11). Such factor shall be based upon the substance's atmospheric life time, the molecular weight of bromine and chlorine, and the substance's ability to be photolytically disassociated, and upon other factors determined to be an accurate measure of relative ozone depletion potential) | |
| acmhainn in-athnuaite | renewable resource | |
| acmhainn in-athnuaite | renewable resource (Resources capable of being continuously renewed or replaced through such processes as organic reproduction and cultivation such as those practiced in agriculture, animal husbandry, forestry and fisheries) | |
| acmhainn intreach | intrinsic resource | |
| acmhainn ithreach | soil resource (No definition needed) | |
| acmhainn mhara bheo | living marine resource | |
| acmhainn mhianrach | mineral resource | |
| acmhainn mhianrach | mineral resource (Valuable mineral deposits of an area that are presently recoverable and may be so in the future; includes known ore bodies and potential ore) | |
| acmhainn mhiocróbach | microbial resource (Any available source of supply derived from microbes, which would be used for beneficial purposes, such as for the production of food substances and drugs) | |
| acmhainn nádúrtha | natural asset | |
| acmhainn nádúrtha | natural resource (A feature or component of the natural environment that is of value in serving human needs, e.g. soil, water, plantlife, wildlife, etc. Some natural resources have an economic value (e.g. timber) while others have a "noneconomic" value (e.g. scenic beauty)) | |
| acmhainn neamh-inathnuaite | non-renewable resource | |
| acmhainn neamh-inathnuaite | non-renewable resource (A natural resource which, in terms of human time scales, is contained within the Earth in a fixed quantity and therefore can be used once only in the foreseeable future (although it may be recycled after its first use). This includes the fossil fuels and is extended to include mineral resources and sometimes ground water, although water and many minerals are renewed eventually) |
