| jaktkort | hunting licence (Official permission granted to individuals or commercial enterprises allowing and regulating by time, location, species, size or amount the wild animals or game that can be killed and taken from lands within a particular jurisdiction) | |
| jaktreservat | hunting reserve (Area of land where the pursuit and killing or capture of game and wild animals is permitted) | |
| jern | iron (A malleable ductile silvery-white ferromagnetic metallic element occurring principally in haematite and magnetite. It is widely used for structural and engineering purposes) | |
| jern- og stålindustri | iron and steel industry (Sector of the metallurgical industry dealing with the production of cast iron, steel and iron alloys. Emissions from these industries tend to settle quickly from the atmosphere and can lead to rising concentrations in the soil. The main raw material input to the production process is iron ore. Also recycled scrap is used) | |
| jernbane | railway (A permanent track composed of a line of parallel metal rails fixed to sleepers, for transport of passengers and goods in trains) | |
| jernbanenett | railway network (The whole system of railway distribution in a country) | |
| jernbanestasjon | railway station (A place along a route or line at which a train stops to pick up or let off passengers or goods, especially with ancillary buildings and services) | |
| jernbanetrafikk | rail traffic (The movement and circulation of vehicles transporting goods and people on railroad systems) | |
| jernbanetransport | rail transport (Transportation of goods and persons by railway) | |
| jernindustri | iron industry (A sector of the economy in which an aggregate of commercial enterprises is engaged in the extraction and refinement of iron ore to produce cast iron, wrought iron and steel) | |
| jernskrap | iron scrap (Waste pieces or disused articles of wrought iron (wrought-iron scrap) suitable for reworking for rolling or forging) | |
| jernverksindustri | ironwork industry (Industry for the production of iron articles) | |
| jevn støy | steady noise (Unceasing prolonged noise, without interruption) | |
| jod | iodine (A nonmetallic halogen element; the poisonous, corrosive dark plates or granules are readily sublimed; insoluble in water, soluble in common solvents; used as germicide and antiseptic, in dyes, tinctures, and pharmaceuticals, in engraving lithography, and as a catalyst and analytical reagent) | |
| jord-solforhold | Earth-Sun relationship (The Earth depends on the sun for its existence as a planet hospitable to life, and solar energy is the major factor determining the climate. Hence, conditions on the sun and conditions on Earth are inextricably linked. Although the sun's rays may appear unchanging, its radiation does vary. Many scientists suspect that sunspot activity has a greater influence on climatic change than variations attributed to the greenhouse effect) | |
| jordalkalimetall | element of group (Any of the divalent electropositive metals beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium, belonging to group 2A of the periodic table; alkaline earth metals) | |
| jordanalyse | soil analysis (The use of rapid chemical analyses to determine the fertility status of a soil. It is used to identify those nutrients or substances that are present in either insufficient or excessive quantities for optimum plant growth. Analyses are also used to monitor increases or decreases in soil fertility over time) | |
| jordarbeiding | working the soil (Ploughing the soil for agricultural purposes) | |
| jordbelastning | soil loading (In soil mechanics and civil engineering the term is used to denote the increased weight brought to bear on the ground surface) | |
| jordbiologi | soil biology (The study of the living organisms, mainly microorganisms and microinvertebrates which live within the soil, and which are largely responsible for the decomposition processes vital to soil fertility) |
