| Terms for subject Environment (6407 entries) |
| desberdintasun ekologiko | ecological inequality (Any imbalance or disparity among inhabitants of the same living environment deemed inappropriate, unjust or detrimental to that environment's integrity) | |
| desberdintasun sozial | social inequality (Unequal rewards or opportunities for different individuals within a group or groups within a society. If equality is judged in terms of legal equality, equality of opportunity, or equality of outcome, then inequality is a constant feature of the human condition) | |
| desertifikazio | desertification (1. The development of desert conditions as a result of human activity or climatic changes. 2. The process of land damage which allows the soil to spread like a desert in arid and semi-arid regions. There is a loss of vegetative cover and the soil deteriorates in texture, nutrient content and fertility. Desertification affects the lives of three-quarters of the world's population, 70% of all drylands and one quarter of the total land area of the planet. There are many reasons for desertification, but the majority are caused by human activities, overgrazing, deforestation, poor land management and over-exploitation. Agenda 21 states that the priority in combating desertification should be establishing preventive measures for lands that are not yet, or are only slightly, degraded) | |
| desertu | desert (A wide, open, comparatively barren tract of land with few forms of life and little rainfall) | |
| desinfektatzaile | disinfectant (An agent, such as heat, radiation, or a chemical, that disinfects by destroying, neutralizing, or inhibiting the growth of disease-carrying microorganisms) | |
| desinfekzio | disinfection (The complex of physical, chemical or mechanical operations undertaken to destroy pathogenic germs) | |
| desintegrazio-produktu | decay product (An isotope formed by the radioactive decay of some other isotope. This newly formed isotope possesses physical and chemical properties that are different from those of its parent isotope, and may also be radioactive) | |
| desjabetze | expropriation (To deprive an owner of property, especially by taking it for public use) | |
| deskonposizio | decomposition (The more or less permanent breakdown of a molecule into simpler molecules or atoms) | |
| deskontaminazio | decontamination (The removing of chemical, biological, or radiological contamination from, or the neutralizing of it on a person, object, or area) | |
| deskontaminazio erradioaktibo | radioactive decontamination (The removal of radioactive contamination which is deposited on surfaces or may have spread throughout a work area. Personnel decontamination is also included. Decontamination methods follow two broad avenues of attack, mechanical and chemical) | |
| deskontaminazio kimiko | chemical decontamination (Removal of chemical substances from a building, a watercourse, a person's clothes, etc.) | |
| deskontaminazio-tratamenduaren hondakin | pollution abatement waste (Wastes resulting from the operations of pollutant removal from industries, cleaning processes, etc.) | |
| desnitrifikazio | denitrification (1. The loss of nitrogen from soil by biological or chemical means. It is a gaseous loss, unrelated to loss by physical processes such as through leachates. 2. The breakdown of nitrates by soil bacteria, resulting in the release of free nitrogen. This process takes place under anaerobic conditions, such as are found in water-logged soil, and it reduces soil fertility) | |
| desortzio | desorption (The process of removing a sorbed substance by the reverse of adsorption or absorption) | |
| destoxikazio | detoxification (The act or process of removing a poison or the toxic properties of a substance in the body) | |
| desulfurazio | desulphurisation (The removal of sulphur, as from molten metals or petroleum oil. Sulphur residues in fuels end up as sulphur dioxide when the fuel is burned causing acid rain) | |
| deszentralizazio | decentralisation (Basic organizational leadership concept and process of shifting and delegating power and authority from a higher level to subordinate levels within the administrative/managerial hierarchy in order to promote independence, responsibility, and quicker decision-making in applying or interpreting policies and procedures to the needs of these levels) | |
| detektagailu | detector (A mechanical, electrical, or chemical device that automatically identifies and records or registers a stimulus, such as an environmental change in pressure or temperature, an electrical signal, or radiation from a radioactive material) | |
| detekzio | detection (The act or process of discovering evidence or proof of governmental, legal or ethical violations) |
