| Terms for subject Environment (5949 entries) |
| bakterio | bacterium (Group of single-cell micro-organisms, the smallest of the living organisms. Some are vital to sustain life, while others are responsible for causing highly dangerous human diseases, such as anthrax, tetanus and tuberculosis. Bacteria are found everywhere, in the soil, water and air) | |
| bakterio fekal | faecal bacterium (Bacteria contained in human and animal faeces) | |
| bakterio koliforme | coliform bacterium (A group of bacteria that are normally abundant in the intestinal tracts of human and other warm-blooded animals and are used as indicators (being measured as the number of individuals found per millilitre of water) when testing the sanitary quality of water) | |
| bakterio-geruza | bacterial bed (A device that removes some suspended solids from sewage. Air and bacteria decompose additional wastes filtering through the sand so that cleaner water drains from the bed) | |
| bakteriologia | bacteriology (The science and study of bacteria) | |
| bakterizida | bactericide (An agent that destroys bacteria) | |
| balantze | balance (An equality between the sums total of the two sides of an account, or the excess on either side; economic) | |
| balantze energetiko | energy balance (The energetic state of a system at any given time) | |
| balea | whale (Large marine mammals of the order Cetacea; the body is streamlined, the broad flat tail is used for propulsion, and the limbs are balancing structures) | |
| balea-arrantza | whaling (Catching whales to use as food or for their oil, etc. Whales are the largest mammals still in existence. They are caught mainly for their oils, though in some case for food. Some species of whale have become extinct because of overexploitation and the population of many of the existing species is dangerously low. Commercial whaling is severely restricted) | |
| baliabide berriztaezin | 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) | |
| baliabide berriztagarri | 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) | |
| baliabide biologikoak | biological resource (Wild organisms harvested for subsistence, commerce, or recreation (such as fish, game, timber or furbearers); domesticated organisms raised by agriculture, aquaculture, and silviculture; and ecosystems cropped by livestock) | |
| baliabide fiskal berde | green fiscal instrument | |
| baliabide genetikoak | 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) | |
| baliabide genetikoen babes | conservation of genetic resources (Controlled utilization, protection and development of the gene pool of natural and cultivated organisms to ensure variety and variability and for current and potential value to human welfare) | |
| baliabide lokalen erabilera | local resource utilisation (The use of a source of supply from a municipal or regional area, which can be readily drawn upon when needed) | |
| baliabide naturalen balioztapen | resource appraisal (Assessment of the availability of resources in a given area) | |
| baliabide-erreserba | resource reserve (No definition needed) | |
| baliabide-murrizketa garbi | net resource depletion (The total decrease in the amount of natural materials available for use by humans and other living beings) |
