At room temperature, it is a colourless, non-flammable gas, with a slightly sweet odour and taste. It is used in surgery and dentistry for its anaesthetic and analgesic effects. It is known as \"laughing gas\" due to the euphoric effects of inhaling it, a property that has led to its recreational use as a dissociative anaesthetic. It is also used as an oxidizer in rocketry and in motor racing to increase the power output of engines. At elevated temperatures, nitrous oxide is a powerful oxidizer similar to molecular oxygen.

The main sources of atmospheric carbon dioxide are biological respiration, of which it is a waste product, combus­tion, and outgassing from the oceans. Carbon dioxide is removed from the atmo­sphere by photosynthesis and by solution in sea-water. Human activity has enhanced the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide by the burning of fossil fuels and biomass. It is a major greenhouse gas, trap­ping heat in the lower atmosphere.

They are very vulnerable to any change in their environment, especially pollution, because it makes the water opaque. They must have light in order that photosyntesis by the algae can take place. Like trees, corals reflect the environmental conditions in which they grow, indicating marine pollution, sea-surface temperature and other aquatic conditions.

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.

definition: An endangered species is a population of organisms which is at risk of becoming extinct because it is either few in numbers, or threatened by changing environmental or predation parameters. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has calculated the percentage of endangered species as 40 percent of all organisms based on the sample of species that have been evaluated through 2006. Many nations have laws offering protection to conservation reliant species: for example, forbidding hunting, restricting land development or creating preserves. Only a few of the many species at risk of extinction actually make it to the lists and obtain legal protection like Pandas. Many more species become extinct, or potentially will become extinct, without gaining public notice. , "Una especie se considera en peligro de extinción, sea vegetal o animal, cuando se encuentra comprometida su existencia globalmente. Esto se puede deber tanto a la depredación directa sobre la especie como a la desaparición de un recurso del cual esta dependa, tanto por la acción del hombre, debido a cambios en el hábitat, producto de hechos fortuitos o por cambios graduales del clima. En la versión 2009 de la Lista Roja de la UICN 2.448 taxones de animales y 2.280 de plantas se encuentran bajo la categoría 'En Peligro', junto con otros 1.665 taxones de animales y 1.575 de plantas que también lo hacen pero bajo la categoría de 'En peligro crítico'. Muchas naciones cuentan con leyes para proteger a las especies que dependen de su conservación para existir, por ejemplo con la prohibición de su caza. Sin embargo, pocas especies obtienen una protección legal considerable, extinguiéndose muchas sin ningún tipo de reconocimiento público. La extinción de una especie es irreparable y, de momento, irreversible, afectando de manera directa o indirecta a la cadena alimentaria y, eventualmente, al propio ser humano. , "En utrotningshotad art är en art som hotas av utrotning, antingen på grund av att den …

definition: En utrotningshotad art är en art som hotas av utrotning, antingen på grund av att den till antalet är få, eller att den hotas av förändrande miljömässiga eller rovdjursparametrar. Dessa finns ofta med på IUCN:s rödlista, som i Sverige hanteras av ArtDatabanken. IUCN har beräknat att antalet utrotningshotade arter är 40% av alla organismer. Bara en liten andel av det totala antalet beskrivna arter i världen har dock utvärderats av IUCN. Enligt forskare finns det med stor sannolikhet också många hotade arter som människan ännu inte har upptäckt. Många länder äar lagar som erbjuder skydd till arter; de skydden kan vara att förbjuda jakt, fridlysa dem, skapa naturreservat, och så vidare. I Sverige arbetar Naturvårdsverket, ArtDatabanken och länsstyrelserna med Åtgärdsprogram för hotade arter för att försöka bevara dem. Orsaker till att arter blir utrotningshotade är flera, men bland de mest påtagliga är habitatförlust. Även för hård jakt, fiske eller annan typ av fångst eller insamling kan vara orsak till att en art blir utrotningshotad. Den internationella handel med utrotningshotade djur och växter hanteras av CITES. @sv

Erittäin uhanalainen laji on eliölaji, jonka vaara kadota luonnosta lähiaikoina on erittäin suuri. Esimerkiksi yksi erittäin uhanalaisista lajeista on gorilla.. Suomessa erittäin uhanalaisia lajeja ovat muun muassa jokihelmisimpukka ja ahma.. Kaiken kaikkiaan vuoden 2000 uhanalaisarvioinnissa luokiteltiin Suomen eliöistä erittäin uhanalaisiksi 5 nisäkäslajia, 6 lintua, 4 kalaa, 242 selkärangatonta, 52 putkilokasvia, 37 itiökasvia ja 106 sienilajia eli yhteensä 452 eliölajia. Kansainvälisen luonnonsuojeluliiton IUCN:n uhanalaisuusluokituksessa erittäin uhanalainen (EN, Endangered) on yksi uhanalaisuuden tasoista., Uhanalaisuus määritellään perinteisesti siten, että eliölajiin tai sen populaatioon kohdistuu lopullisen häviämisen vaara. Lajin uhanalaisuuden arviointi on lajin levinneisyyden, yleisyyden ja runsauden muutosten ennakoimista käytössä olevien tietojen perusteella. Uhanalaisuutta arvioitaessa populaatioiden häviämisnopeus on olennainen tekijä, ja uhanalaisten lajien suojelutyössä häviämisnopeuteen pyritään vaikuttamaan eri keinoin. @fi
definition: Trua arter er arter som trues av utryddelse (står i fare for å dø ut). Trusselbildet kan variere, både mellom artene og innad i en art, herunder også både internasjonalt og nasjonalt. Verdens naturvernunion (IUCN) har derfor utarbeidet ei internasjonal rødliste for bedre å kunne ivareta internasjonale og nasjonale spørsmål om trua arter. Den internasjonale rødlista ivaretas av Species Survival Commission (SSC), mens nasjonale rødlister ivaretas av et lokalt oppnevnt organ., En truet dyreart er en art som av ulike grunner står i fare for å bli utryddet. Mange land har lover som gir spesiell beskyttelse til disse dyreartene (lover som for eksempel kan forby handel og jakt, eller forby utvikling av dyreartenes naturlige habitat og lignende), for å unngå at de blir totalt utryddet. Bare noen få av de mange truede dyreartene kommer på listen og blir gitt beskyttelse ved loven. Mange flere dyrearter blir utryddet, eller vil potensielt bli utryddet, uten å få offentlig oppmerksomhet. At en dyreart havner på en liste over truede dyrearter kan også være en ulempe, siden det gjør dyrearten mer verdifull og ønsket blant samlere og krypskyttere. @no
definition: Uma espécie ameaçada é uma espécie cujas populações estão decrescendo a ponto de colocá-la em risco de extinção. Muitos países têm legislação que protege estas espécies, proibindo a caça e protegendo seus habitats, mas essa legislação tem se demonstrado insuficiente para evitar que um número crescente de espécies deixe de existir, sem que se tenha notícia deste fato. Não há consenso sobre os critérios de inclusão de uma espécie na lista das ameaçadas. Há uma interpretação corrente de que a preservação de espécies ameaçadas é incompatível com a exploração económica do ambiente em que vivem, que deveria ser preservado como um santuário ecológico intocável. Isto é verdade em alguns casos extremos, mas não em todos. Cresce o número de propostas de uso económico sustentável de habitats naturais, combinando agricultura com preservação da cobertura vegetal e portanto da diversidade da flora e da fauna. No Brasil, a legislação tem feito alguns avanços nos últimos anos, embora na prática a falta de fiscalização e a impunidade dos infratores implique em que não seja respeitada. @pt

definition: [Henderson's] the process by which evolutionary change is chieﬂy driven according to Darwin’s theory of evolution. Environmental factors such as climate, disease, competition from other organisms, and availability of certain types of food will lead to the preferential survival and reproduction of those members of a popu­lation genetically best ﬁtted to deal with them. Continued selection will therefore lead to certain genes becoming more common in subsequent generations. Such selection, operating over very long periods of time is believed to be able to give rise to the considerable differences now seen between different organisms.

amino acid
broader: organic matter
definition: [Henderson's] n. any of a class of compounds of the general formula RCH(NH2)COOH (α-amino acids) where R is a distinctive side chain. Side chains vary from the sin­gle hydrogen atom of glycine to the aro­matic side chains of tryptophan and phenylalanine and the sulphur-containing side chains of cysteine and methionine. Proteins are composed of amino acids covalently linked together through their amino and carboxyl groups into a polypeptide chain with the side chains pro­jecting from the covalently linked back­bone. Amino acids can occur as optically active d- and l-isomers, of which only l-isomers are found in proteins. Around 20 different amino acids are present in proteins, all of which can be synthesized by autotrophs but which in heterotrophs are chieﬂy obtained by breakdown of dietary protein. Amino acids are also biosynthetic precursors of many important molecules such as purines, pyrimidines, histamine, thyroxine, adrenaline, melanin, serotonin, the nicotinamide ring and porphyrins among others. see Fig. 4 and individual entries for each amino acid.

definition: [GEMET] The lowest of the concentric layers of the atmosphere, occurring between the Earth's surface and the tropopause. It is the zone where atmospheric turbulence is at its greatest and where the bulk of the Earth's weather is generated. It contains almost all the water vapour and aerosols and three-quarters of the total gaseous mass of the atmosphere. Throughout the troposphere temperature decreases with height at a mean rate of 6.5°C/km and the whole zone is capped by either an inversion of temperature or an isothermal layer at the tropopause.

The oxygen comes from the atmosphere by solution and from photosynthesis of water plants. The maximum amount of oxygen that can be held in solution in a stream is termed the saturation concentration and, as it is a function of temperature, the greater the temperature, the less the saturation amount. The discharge of an organic waste to a stream imposes an oxygen demand on the stream. If there is an excessive amount of organic matter, the oxidation of waste by microorganisms will consume oxygen more rapidly than it can be replenished. When this happens, the dissolved oxygen is depleted and results in the death of the higher forms of life.

Due to magnesium ion's high solubility in water, it is the third-most-abundant element dissolved in seawater. Magnesium is produced in stars larger than 3 solar masses by fusing helium and neon in the alpha process at temperatures above 600 megakelvins. It is important for the activity of many enzymes, especially those involved in oxidative phosphorylation.

broader: http://vocabs.lter-europe.net/EnvThes/20748
definition: Nitric acid (HNO3), also known as aqua fortis and spirit of niter, is a highly corrosive strong mineral acid. The pure compound is colorless, but older samples tend to acquire a yellow cast due to decomposition into oxides of nitrogen and water. Most commercially available nitric acid has a concentration of 68%. When the solution contains more than 86% HNO3, it is referred to as fuming nitric acid. Depending on the amount of nitrogen dioxide present, fuming nitric acid is further characterized as white fuming nitric acid or red fuming nitric acid, at concentrations above 95%. Nitric acid is the primary reagent used for nitration - the addition of a nitro group, typically to an organic molecule. While some resulting nitro compounds are shock- and thermally-sensitive explosives, a few are stable enough to be used in munitions and demolition, while others are still more stable and used as pigments in inks and dyes. Nitric acid is also commonly used as a strong oxidizing agent.

photosynthesis
modified: 2019-06-12
broader: biological process
definition: [Henderson's] n. (1) the use of light energy to power biosynthesis in living organisms; (2) in green plants, algae and cyanobacteria, it is the synthesis of carbo­hydrate from carbon dioxide as a carbon source and water as a hydrogen donor with the release of oxygen as a waste product, using light energy trapped by the green pigment chlorophyll. The primary prod­ucts are ATP and NADPH, formed in the presence of light. These are then used in carbohydrate synthesis (the dark reaction). In green plants and algae, photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts; (3) a similar process in other bacteria, but using hydro­gen donors other than water and produc­ing waste products other than oxygen. a. photosynthetic. see also bacterioch­lorophyll, Calvin cycle, chlorophyll, photo­phosphorylation, photosystem I and II, reaction centre.

definition: En truet dyreart er en art som av ulike grunner står i fare for å bli utryddet. Mange land har lover som gir spesiell beskyttelse til disse dyreartene (lover som for eksempel kan forby handel og jakt, eller forby utvikling av dyreartenes naturlige habitat og lignende), for å unngå at de blir totalt utryddet. Bare noen få av de mange truede dyreartene kommer på listen og blir gitt beskyttelse ved loven. Mange flere dyrearter blir utryddet, eller vil potensielt bli utryddet, uten å få offentlig oppmerksomhet. At en dyreart havner på en liste over truede dyrearter kan også være en ulempe, siden det gjør dyrearten mer verdifull og ønsket blant samlere og krypskyttere., Trua arter er arter som trues av utryddelse (står i fare for å dø ut). Trusselbildet kan variere, både mellom artene og innad i en art, herunder også både internasjonalt og nasjonalt. Verdens naturvernunion (IUCN) har derfor utarbeidet ei internasjonal rødliste for bedre å kunne ivareta internasjonale og nasjonale spørsmål om trua arter. Den internasjonale rødlista ivaretas av Species Survival Commission (SSC), mens nasjonale rødlister ivaretas av et lokalt oppnevnt organ. @no

definition: Uma espécie ameaçada é uma espécie cujas populações estão decrescendo a ponto de colocá-la em risco de extinção. Muitos países têm legislação que protege estas espécies, proibindo a caça e protegendo seus habitats, mas essa legislação tem se demonstrado insuficiente para evitar que um número crescente de espécies deixe de existir, sem que se tenha notícia deste fato. Não há consenso sobre os critérios de inclusão de uma espécie na lista das ameaçadas. Há uma interpretação corrente de que a preservação de espécies ameaçadas é incompatível com a exploração económica do ambiente em que vivem, que deveria ser preservado como um santuário ecológico intocável. Isto é verdade em alguns casos extremos, mas não em todos. Cresce o número de propostas de uso económico sustentável de habitats naturais, combinando agricultura com preservação da cobertura vegetal e portanto da diversidade da flora e da fauna. No Brasil, a legislação tem feito alguns avanços nos últimos anos, embora na prática a falta de fiscalização e a impunidade dos infratores implique em que não seja respeitada. @pt

Shrews have sharp, spike-like teeth, not the familiar gnawing front incisor teeth of rodents.Shrews are distributed almost worldwide: of the major tropical and temperate land masses, only New Guinea, Australia, and New Zealand do not have any native shrews; in South America, shrews are relatively recent immigrants and are present only in the northern Andes. In terms of species diversity, the shrew family is the fourth most successful mammal family, being rivalled only by the muroid rodent families Muridae and Cricetidae and the bat family Vespertilionidae.

definition: Art inom keltisk mytolgi, se Art (keltisk mytologi) Art eller det biologiska artbegreppet är ett begrepp inom biologi. I biologisk systematik delar man in organismerna i grupper som är nära släkt med varandra och grupper av grupper som är ganska nära släkt med varandra, och så vidare i en hierarki. Art är den grupp som i betydelse ligger närmast vardagsspråkets betydelse för djursort. Som exempel är lejon, tiger och katt både olika djur i vardagsspråket och olika arter i vetenskaplig mening. Länge ansågs artbegreppet som den självklara grundläggande (minsta) enheten i systematiken. Sedan uppkomsten av evolutionsteorin har begreppet dock undergått djupgående förändringar. Ändå har man inte lyckats enas om en definition av begreppet. Den nu vanligaste definitionen myntades av Ernst Mayr. Den säger att en art utgörs av populationer, vars individer kan föröka sig tillsammans men inte med någon individ som tillhör en population som inte tillhör arten. Alla arter är definierade av en typ. En typ är en unik organism som fungerar som referens för definitionen av en specifik art. Varje art har en typ. @sv
definition: Dans les sciences du vivant, l’espèce (du latin species, « type » ou « apparence ») est le taxon de base de la systématique. Il existe plus d'une vingtaine de définitions de l'espèce dans la littérature scientifique. La définition la plus communément admise est celle du concept biologique de l'espèce énoncé par Ernst Mayr (1942) : une espèce est une population ou un ensemble de populations dont les individus peuvent effectivement ou potentiellement se reproduire entre eux et engendrer une descendance viable et féconde, dans des conditions naturelles. Ainsi, l'espèce est la plus grande unité de population au sein de laquelle le flux génétique est possible alors que les individus d'une même espèce sont génétiquement isolés d’autres ensembles équivalents du point de vue reproductif. Pourtant le critère d’interfécondité ne peut pas toujours être vérifié : c'est le cas pour les fossiles, les organismes asexués ou pour des espèces rares ou difficiles à observer. D’autres définitions peuvent donc être utilisées : espèce morphologique : groupe d'individus défini par des caractéristiques structurales (taille, forme…) espèce phylogénétique : la plus petite lignée d’une population pouvant être définie par une combinaison unique de caractères diagnostiques; espèce écologique : groupe d’organismes partageant une même niche écologique; espèce phénétique : ensemble d’organismes vivants se ressemblant (critères de similitudes morphologiques, anatomiques, embryologiques, etc. ) plus entre eux qu’à d’autres ensembles équivalents. @fr
definition: Die Art oder Spezies ist die Grundeinheit der biologischen Systematik. Eine allgemeine Definition der Art oder Spezies, die die theoretischen und praktischen Anforderungen aller biologischen Teildisziplinen gleichermaßen erfüllt, ist bislang nicht gelungen. Vielmehr existieren in der Biologie verschiedene Artkonzepte, die zu unterschiedlichen Klassifikationen führen. Das Problem der Artdefinition besteht eigentlich aus zwei Teilproblemen: Gruppenbildung (Welche Individuen gehören zusammen?) und Rangbildung (Welche der zahlreichen, ineinander geschachtelten Gruppen abgestufter Ähnlichkeiten und Beziehungen wollen wir 'Art' nennen?) . Die Hauptunterschiede der verschiedenen Artkonzepte liegen dabei auf der Ebene der Rangbildung. Eine Gruppe von Lebewesen unabhängig von ihrem Rang nennen Taxonomen eine 'Sippe' oder ein 'Taxon'. @de
definition: En biología se denomina especie a cada uno de los grupos en que se dividen los géneros, es decir, la limitación de lo genérico en un ámbito morfológicamente concreto. En biología, una especie es la unidad básica de la clasificación biológica. Una especie se define a menudo como grupo de organismos capaces de entrecruzar y de producir descendencia fértil. Mientras que en muchos casos esta definición es adecuada, medidas más exactas o que diferencian más son de uso frecuente, por ejemplo basado en la semejanza del ADN o en la presencia de rasgos local-adaptados específicos. Es un grupo de poblaciones naturales cuyos miembros pueden cruzarse entre sí, pero no pueden hacerlo -o al menos no lo hacen habitualmente- con los miembros de poblaciones pertenecientes a otras especies. En este concepto, el aislamiento en la reproducción respecto de otras especies es central. Es un grupo de organismos reproductivamente homogéneo, pero muy cambiante a lo largo del tiempo y del espacio. En muchos casos los grupos de organismos que se separan de la población original, y quedan aislados del resto, pueden alcanzar una diferenciación suficiente como para convertirse en una nueva especie. Los nombres de uso general para los taxa de la planta y del animal corresponden a veces a la especie: por ejemplo, «león», «morsa» y «árbol de alcanfor». Pero no a menudo: por ejemplo, la palabra «ciervo» se refiere a una familia de 34 especies, incluyendo el ciervo eurasiático y el wapiti, que una vez fueron consideradas una sola especie pero que se ha encontrado que son dos. Una definición apropiada de la palabra «especie» y métodos de confianza para identificar una especie particular es esencial para indicar y probar teorías biológicas y para la biodiversidad que mide. Tradicionalmente, los ejemplos múltiples de una especie propuesta se deben estudiar para los caracteres de la unificación antes de que pueda ser mirada como especie.

definition: Espécie, é um conceito fundamental da Biologia que designa a unidade básica do sistema taxonómico utilizado na classificação científica dos seres vivos. Embora existam múltiplas definições, nenhuma delas consensual, o conceito estrutura-se em torno da constituição de agrupamentos de indivíduos com profundas semelhanças estruturais e funcionais recíprocas, resultantes da partilha de um cariótipo idêntico, expresso numa estrutura cromossómica das células diplóides similar, que lhes confere acentuada uniformidade bioquímica e a capacidade de reprodução entre si, originando descendentes férteis e com o mesmo quadro geral de caracteres, num processo que, quando envolva um organismo sexuado, deve permitir descendentes férteis de ambos os sexos. Apesar de terem sido propostas múltiplas definições mais precisas, a dificuldade em encontrar uma definição universal para o conceito levou ao aparecimento do chamado problema da espécie e à adopção de formulações flexíveis utilizadas de forma pragmática em função das especificidades do grupo biológico a que o conceito é aplicado. @pt
definition: For opplæringsmetoden ART, se Aggression Replacement Training. Arten er en av de mest grunnleggende enhetene i biologien. En mye brukt definisjon er Ernst Mayrs biologiske artsbegrep: Arter er grupper av naturlige populasjoner som forplanter seg med hverandre, og som forplantningsmessig er isolert fra andre slike grupper. Mer presist kan man, med få unntak, si at en art er en gruppe individer som kan få fertilt (fruktbart) avkom med hverandre. Ofte kan ulike arter få felles avkom, men dette avkommet vil i sin tur normalt ikke selv være fertilt. I systematikken er arten den basale kategorien, det vil si at enhver organisme hører til en. og bare én, art. Arten er dessuten den eneste kategorien som ikke er vilkårlig: Kategorier over artsnivået og kategorier under artsnivået avgrenses i tråd med det biologiske skjønn hos en systematiker. Arter derimot, er ifølge det biologiske artsbegrepet «selvdefinerende» enheter. Det vil si at spørsmålet om to organismer hører til samme art er av vitenskapelig karakter, det kan ikke avgjøres ved skjønn. Dersom genflyt mellom to populasjoner er mulig, hører de til samme art. Om genflyt er umulig, hører populasjonene til forskjellige arter. Det er her viktig å presisere under hvilke omstendigheter genflyten skjer. Bare hvis genflyten mellom to tilsynelatende forskjellige arter skjer i naturlige omgivelser og uten noen som helst menneskelig innblanding, tilrettelegging eller annen manipulering, så har man samme art eller to underarter. Det er organismen selv som i frihet avgjør om den er en selvstendig art eller ikke. Og vitenskapens rolle er her bare å passivt registrere dette. Skjer derimot genflyten mellom to arter manipulert, som å flytte dem nærmere hverandre eller holde dem i fangenskap, drivhus, kastrere alle hanner av den ene art ol. , så er ikke det tilstrekkelig til å klassifisere dem som av samme art eller som underarter.

definition: Laji on tieteellisessä luokittelussa käytettävä termi, jota käytetään biologiassa puhuttaessa eliöistä, jotka ovat joillakin tärkeillä tavoilla keskenään samankaltaisia. Eliöt on tapana järjestää sukulaisuusuhteiden mukaan hierarkkiseksi järjestelmäksi eli luokitetella. Tämän järjestelmän perusyksikkö on laji. Maapallolla nykyään eläviä lajeja ihminen tuntee noin 1,4 miljoonaa, mutta lajien todellisen lukumäärän arvioidaan olevan 5—50 miljoonaa. Lajit eivät eroa toisistaan aina selkeästi. Luokitteluun erikoistunut tutkija, dosentti Jyrki Muona on sanonut: 'Laji on psykologinen fiktio, joka johtuu siitä, että ihminen itse on niin omalaatuinen ja helposti tunnistettava olento.

definition: 种（Species）或稱物种，生物分类的基本单位，位于生物分类法中最後一级，在属之下。較為籠統的概念，是指一群或多或少与其它这样的群体形态不同，並能够交配繁殖的相关的生物群体。以演化生物學家恩斯特·麥爾（Ernst Mayr）的定义来说，物种是：「能够（或可能）相互配育的自然种群的类群，这些类群与其它这样的类群在生殖上相互隔离着。」昆虫学家陈世骧（1978）对物种所下定义为：「物种是繁殖单元，由又连续又间断的局群所组成；物种是进化单元，是生物系统线上的基本环节，是分类的基本单元。」。 在分类学中，一个物种被赋予一个拉丁化的雙名法名称。该名称使用斜体印刷，手写时则加上底線；属名首字母大写，屬名之後紧跟一个唯一的形容词，這個詞稱為種小名或種加詞，其首字母不可大寫。只有完整的双名制名称才称为「种名」，而非仅仅是双名制名称的第二个部分。例如人的种名叫Homo sapiens（有智慧的人），而不是sapiens。 @zh

definition: Con il termine albero si intende una pianta legnosa perenne, capace di svilupparsi in altezza grazie ad un fusto legnoso, detto tronco, che solitamente inizia a ramificarsi a qualche metro dal suolo. L'insieme dei rami e delle foglie determina la chioma che può avere forme diverse a seconda delle specie e delle condizioni ambientali. Gli alberi si distinguono dagli arbusti non per le loro dimensioni ma per la presenza di un tronco nettamente identificabile e privo per un primo tratto di ramificazioni (esistono dei salici - alberi a tutti gli effetti - con portamento strisciante e alti solo pochi centimetri). Questa corretta definizione botanica viene tuttavia a volte disattesa qualora si parli di alberi riferendosi ai loro possibili usi commerciali: in questo caso a volte vengono fissate delle altezza minime per la definizione di albero (es. 5 m di altezza per alcune norme FAO). Il legno degli alberi è una fonte energetica (combustione diretta e carbone di legna) e un materiale da costruzione (intere abitazioni, travature, navi, mobili, oggetti d'uso comune ed artistici). Sempre dagli alberi, spesso coltivati allo scopo, si ricava cellulosa per la produzione della carta. @it
definition: Denna artikel handlar om de växter som kallas träd, för träd i annan betydelse se träd (graf) och träd (datastruktur). Träd är en mångårig växt som är bunden till ståndort och består av ved. Ett träd kan ha en eller flera stammar som bär upp kronan. Veden ger träden egenskapen att bli mycket gamla och stora. Veden består av cellulosa och lignin, som är en form av limsubstans. 'Ett träd är en ettårig växt på ett åldrande skelett. ' (Holländsk definition av träd) Träd är större än buskar, som också har förvedad stam. Botaniskt finns inte någon entydigt fastslagen gräns mellan träd och buskar. Vissa trädslag uppträder både som träd och buske beroende på växtförhållandena. Enligt Nationalencyklopedin anses att ett träd ska kunna nå en höjd av minst fem meter, vilket dock många buskar också kan göra. Vissa arter som platsar både som buske och som träd benämns ibland buskträd. Benämningen träd används både på barrträd, som är större medlemmar av gruppen barrväxter (ordningen Coniferales), och på lövträd, som är (med undantag för Gingko) större medlemmar i gruppen gömfröväxter (underdivisionen Angiospermae), även kallade blomväxter. Barrträd är en evolutionärt sett betydligt äldre grupp, och lövträden är trots sin storlek betydligt närmare släkt med gräs och vanliga prydnadsblommor än vad de är med barrträd. Ett träd består av rötter, stam, grenar, kvistar och löv eller barr. Formen på träd kan variera och man skiljer på palmtyp, ektyp och grantyp. Inom skogsbruket övergår en planta till att vara ett träd när den uppnått brösthöjd (1,3 meter); det är också vid den höjden stamomkretsen normalt mäts. Med sly avses unga träd, oftast lövträd, utan ekonomiskt värde för skogsbruket. Inom plantskolenäringen mäts ett träds stamomfång (stamomkrets) en meter från marken. Den minsta storleken till försäljning brukar vara 6–8 cm i stamomfång, och den största ca 60–70 cm. Det är dock endast specialiserade plantskolor som kan leverera så stora träd. Träd som är mindre än 6–8 cm i stamom… @sv
definition: Drzewa – grupa roślin, do której zaliczają się największe rośliny lądowe. Grupa ta nie jest taksonem – grupuje tylko organizmy roślinne podobne morfologicznie i funkcjonalnie. Drzewa są roślinami wieloletnimi o zdrewniałych łodygach (i zwykle też korzeniach). Od innych roślin drzewiastych różnią się posiadaniem łodygi głównej rozgałęziającej się dopiero od pewnej wysokości. Liczne rozgałęzienia wraz z listowiem tworzą koronę drzewa. Do drzew zalicza się niekiedy rośliny posiadające kłodzinę zamiast pnia zakończoną pękiem liści tj. paprocie drzewiaste, sagowcowe, palmy, pandany, juki i draceny. Bardziej zawężone definicje wyłączają wieloletnie rośliny o zdrewniałych łodygach, które nie posiadają zdolności przyrostu na grubość i nie tworzą korony ze zdrewniałych rozgałęzień łodygi.

De nombreuses espèces produisent des fruits comestibles, comme ici l'arbre à pain (Artocarpus altilis). Un arbre est une plante terrestre capable de se développer par elle-même en hauteur, en général au delà de sept mètres. Les arbres acquièrent une structure rigide composée d'un tronc qui peut éventuellement se ramifier en formant des branches. Les arbres sont des plantes pérennes qui vivent plusieurs années, le plus souvent plusieurs décennies, ou même plusieurs siècles. @fr
definition: Trær er vanligvis høyreiste planter, ofte med en stamme med greiner, men de kan ha flere stammer. Greiner og stamme består av langstrakte celler bygd opp av cellulose som er kittet sammen med lignin. Dette gjør veden hard og stabil. I tillegg inneholder veden i mange treslag kvae for å beskytte mot sopp og insektangrep. Trær er større enn busker, men noen entydig grense mellom trær og busker er ikke klart definert. Enkelte treslag opptrer både som tre og busk avhengig av vekstforholdene. Ifølge det svenske Nationalencyklopedin skal et tre kunne nå en minimumshøyde på fem meter, noe også mange busker gjør. Trær kan bli over 100 meter høye og tidvis bli over 1000 år gamle. Her i Norge kan gran bli 50 m høy og eik kan bli 1000 år gammel. Normalt dør trærne lenge før de når slik høyde og alder. De vanligste årsakene til at trær dør er soppangrep, insektangrep og stormfelling. @no
definition: Un árbol es una planta perenne, de tallo leñoso, que se ramifica a cierta altura del suelo. El término hace referencia habitualmente a aquellas plantas cuya altura supera un determinado límite, diferente según las fuentes, 2 metros, 3 metros, 5 metros o los 6 m en su madurez. Además, producen ramas secundarias nuevas cada año que parten de un único fuste o tronco, con claro dominio apical, dando lugar a una nueva copa separada del suelo. Algunos autores establecen un mínimo de 10 cm de diámetro en el tronco (30 cm de circunferencia). Las plantas leñosas que no reúnen estas características por tener varios troncos, o son de pequeño tamaño, se consideran arbustos. Los árboles presentan una mayor longevidad que otros tipos de plantas. Ciertas especies de árboles pueden superar los 100 m de altura, y llegar a vivir durante miles de años. Los árboles son un importante componente del paisaje natural debido a que previenen la erosión y proporcionan un ecosistema protegido de las inclemencias del tiempo en su follaje y por debajo de él. También desempeñan un papel importante a la hora de producir oxígeno y reducir el dióxido de carbono en la atmósfera, así como moderar las temperaturas en el suelo. También, son elementos en el paisajismo y la agricultura, tanto por su atractivo aspecto como por su producción de frutos en huerto de frutales como el manzano. La madera de los árboles es un material de construcción, así como una fuente de energía primaria en muchos países en vías de desarrollo. Los árboles desempeñan también un importante papel en muchas mitologías del mundo. @es

definition: Árvore é uma planta permanentemente lenhosa de grande porte. Por grande porte, embora não exista uma definição consensual, costuma-se entender uma altura mínima de seis metros na maturidade. As árvores têm ramos secundários, o que as distingue das palmeiras, portanto apenas as gimnospermas e angiospermas dicotiledôneas lenhosas são chamadas árvores. As palmeiras são angiospermas monocotiledôneas. Entre outros atributos, as árvores se caracterizam por ter raiz pivotante, caule lenhoso do tipo tronco, que forma ramos bem acima do nível do solo. Os arbustos, além do menor porte, podem exibir ramos desde junto ao solo. Comparadas com outras formas vegetais, árvores e palmeiras vivem longo tempo. Algumas, como sequóias e jequitibás, vivem milhares de anos. Uma sequóia pode chegar a cem metros de altura. @pt
definition: 木（き、樹、Template:Lang-en-short）は、植物の形のひとつ。木本（もくほん）、樹木（じゅもく）とも言う。 硬い幹をもち、幾本もの枝があり、地面に根を張り、生長する。幹は木質化し、次第に太く成長する。枝の先には葉と芽を付け、花を咲かせ、主に種子をもって繁殖する。 一般に、木・樹木というと立木、特に高木を指す場合もある。 @ja
definition: 樹是具有木質樹幹及樹枝的植物，可存活多年。一般将乔木称为树，主干，植株一，分枝距离地面较高，可以形成树冠。樹有很多種。 俗语中也有将比较大的灌木称为'树'的，如石榴树、茶树等。 @zh

definition: [Henderson's] n.plu. hoofed mammals. see Artiodactyla, Perissodactyla. , "Ungulates are a diverse group of large mammals, most of which use the tips of their toes, usually hoofed, to sustain their whole body weight while moving. The term means, roughly, being hoofed or hoofed animal. As a descriptive term, ungulate normally excludes cetaceans, as they do not possess most of the typical morphological characteristics of ungulates; recent discoveries indicate that they are descended from early artiodactyls, and thus are directly related to other even-toed ungulates such as cattle, with hippopotamuses being their closest living relatives. As a result of these discoveries, the new order Cetartiodactyla has been proposed to include the members of Artiodactyla and Cetacea, to reflect their common ancestry; however, strictly speaking, this is merely a matter of nomenclature, since it is possible simply to recognize Cetacea as a subgroup of Artiodactyla.

definition: Karplanter (Tracheophyta) er betegnelsen for alle landplanter unntatt mosene. Karplantene er en svært suksessrik plantegruppe med anslagsvis 276 000 arter kjent i 2004 – nesten 90 % av alle landplanter. Et botanisk standardverk (flora) vil normalt omtale karplantene – lave urter, middelsstore busker, palmer og forvedete trær – men utelate slike grønne planter som moser og grønnalger. Utfra formeringsmåten kan man dele karplantene inn i to grupper, karsporeplanter og frøplanter, men bare frøplantene er en naturlig gruppe. Karsporeplantene er svært forskjelligartede, f. eks er bregnene nærmere beslektet med blomsterplanter enn med karspore-gruppen kråkefotplanter. Karplantene har utviklet seg over 350–500 millioner år, og er dermed langt eldre enn pattedyrene og like gamle som fuglene og de eldste gjenlevende insektene. Den vitenskapelige gruppering av karplantene er vanskelig og omstridt, og endres stadig. De siste 200 årene har sett et titalls ulike måter å gruppere dem etter egenskaper og innbyrdes slektskap. I tillegg er fortsatt mange grupper og arter dårlig kartlagt og forstått, og det totale antallet arter er ukjent. Karplantene er svært suksessrike, de har kolonisert hele jordkloden unntatt Antarktis. Størst suksess har de enfrøbladete gress-artene hatt, og de har enorm økonomisk verdi.

definition: Tracheobionta es el nombre del taxón de plantas que abarca a las traqueófitas, también llamadas plantas vasculares. Son organismos formados por células vegetales, que poseen un ciclo de vida en el que se alternan las generaciones gametofítica y esporofítica, siendo esta última la fase dominante (sobre quien actúa más presión de selección natural); cuya fase esporofítica es fotosintética e independiente, y tiene tejidos y sistemas de órganos; está organizada en un 'cormo' (sistema que posee vástago aéreo, raíz subterránea y un sistema de conducción vascular que los vincula) que es a lo que comúnmente se refiere la gente cuando dice 'planta'; cuya fase gametofítica es reducida y puede ser desde un 'talo' (cuerpo no organizado en tejidos ni órganos) en helechos y afines, hasta unas pocas células protegidas y nutridas por el esporófito, en gimnospermas y angiospermas. La selección natural dirigió fuertemente la evolución de las traqueófitas hacia una menor dependencia de las condiciones ambientales sobre la tierra para la reproducción y la dispersión, característica que entra en evidencia al comparar las traqueofitas más antiguas (Lycophyta) con las más modernas (plantas con flores). A lo largo de la historia se ha designado a este grupo con distintos nombres, como cormófitas o cormofitas (nombre científico Cormophyta o Cormobionta), embriófitas sifonógamas (nombre científico Embryophyta sifonogama), etc. Su nombre más común, Tracheophyta, proviene de tracheo (en referencia a las traqueidas, especializadas para el transporte de líquidos dentro de la planta) y phyta, raíz de origen griego que significa 'planta'. Se lo castellaniza como traqueofitas o traqueófitas. La evidencia de los análisis moleculares de ADN hoy en día demostró que las traqueófitas son un grupo monofilético (que comprende a todos los descendientes de un ancestro común) dentro de las embriófitas, mientras que las briofitas son parafiléticas con respecto a las traqueofitas.

Son organismos formados por células vegetales, que poseen un ciclo de vida en el que se alternan las generaciones gametofítica y esporofítica, siendo esta última la fase dominante (sobre quien actúa más presión de selección natural); cuya fase esporofítica es fotosintética e independiente, y tiene tejidos y sistemas de órganos; está organizada en un 'cormo' (sistema que posee vástago aéreo, raíz subterránea y un sistema de conducción vascular que los vincula) que es a lo que comúnmente se refiere la gente cuando dice 'planta'; cuya fase gametofítica es reducida y puede ser desde un 'talo' (cuerpo no organizado en tejidos ni órganos) en helechos y afines, hasta unas pocas células protegidas y nutridas por el esporófito, en gimnospermas y angiospermas. La selección natural dirigió fuertemente la evolución de las traqueófitas hacia una menor dependencia de las condiciones ambientales sobre la tierra para la reproducción y la dispersión, característica que entra en evidencia al comparar las traqueofitas más antiguas (Lycophyta) con las más modernas (plantas con flores). A lo largo de la historia se ha designado a este grupo con distintos nombres, como cormófitas o cormofitas (nombre científico Cormophyta o Cormobionta), embriófitas sifonógamas (nombre científico Embryophyta sifonogama), etc. Su nombre más común, Tracheophyta, proviene de tracheo (en referencia a las traqueidas, especializadas para el transporte de líquidos dentro de la planta) y phyta, raíz de origen griego que significa 'planta'. Se lo castellaniza como traqueofitas o traqueófitas. La evidencia de los análisis moleculares de ADN hoy en día demostró que las traqueófitas son un grupo monofilético (que comprende a todos los descendientes de un ancestro común) dentro de las embriófitas, mientras que las briofitas son parafiléticas con respecto a las traqueofitas. Esto quiere decir que probabl… @es
definition: Vascular plants (also known as tracheophytes or higher plants) are those plants that have lignified tissues for conducting water, minerals, and photosynthetic products through the plant. Vascular plants include the clubmosses, Equisetum, ferns, gymnosperms and angiosperms. Scientific names for the group include Tracheophyta and Tracheobionta, , "Kärlväxter (Tracheobionta eller Tracheophyta) är ett traditionellt botaniskt begrepp för växter som utmärks av anpassning till landliv genom välutvecklade transportsystem för vatten i stammar och blad via särskilda kärl. Dessa kärl kallas kärlsträngar eller silrör. Kärlväxterna delas in i två grupper, nämligen fröväxter (fanerogamer) och kärlkryptogamer, som är sporväxter (kryptogamer) som har kärlsystem för vatteninhämtning, såsom ormbunksväxter. Kärlväxterna är en fylogenetisk grupp skild från bryofyterna, och kan till skillnad från dessa syntetisera lignin. Gruppen kärlväxter omfattar ca 300 000 arter. , "Karplanter (Tracheophyta) er betegnelsen for alle landplanter unntatt mosene. Karplantene er en svært suksessrik plantegruppe med anslagsvis 276 000 arter kjent i 2004 – nesten 90 % av alle landplanter. Et botanisk standardverk (flora) vil normalt omtale karplantene – lave urter, middelsstore busker, palmer og forvedete trær – men utelate slike grønne planter som moser og grønnalger. Utfra formeringsmåten kan man dele karplantene inn i to grupper, karsporeplanter og frøplanter, men bare frøplantene er en naturlig gruppe. Karsporeplantene er svært forskjelligartede, f. eks er bregnene nærmere beslektet med blomsterplanter enn med karspore-gruppen kråkefotplanter. Karplantene har utviklet seg over 350–500 millioner år, og er dermed langt eldre enn pattedyrene og like gamle som fuglene og de eldste gjenlevende insektene. Den vitenskapelige gruppering av karplantene er vanskelig og omstridt, og endres stadig. De siste 200 årene har sett et titalls ulike måter å gruppere dem etter egenskaper og innbyrdes slektskap.

irradiance
broader: variable
definition: [ECSO]* Irradiance, radiant emittance, and radiant exitance are radiometry terms for the power per unit area of electromagnetic radiation at a surface. 'Irradiance' is used when the electromagnetic radiation is incident on the surface. 'Radiant exitance' or 'radiant emittance' is used when the radiation is emerging from the surface. The SI units for all of these quantities are watts per square meter (W/m2) (wikipedia). All of these quantities characterize the total amount of radiation present, at all frequencies. It is also common to consider each frequency in the spectrum separately. When this is done for radiation incident on a surface, it is called spectral irradiance, and has SI units W/m3. Irradiance is the radiant flux (power) received by a surface per unit area.

definition: A chuva ácida, ou com mais propriedade deposição ácida, é a designação dada à chuva, ou qualquer outra forma de precipitação atmosférica, cuja acidez seja substancialmente maior do que a resultante da dissociação do dióxido de carbono (CO2) atmosférico dissolvido na água precipitada. A principal causa daquela acidificação é a presença na atmosfera terrestre de gases e partículas ricos em enxofre e azoto reactivo cuja hidrólise no meio atmosférico produz ácidos fortes. Assumem particular importância os compostos azotados (NOx) gerados pelas altas temperaturas de queima dos combustíveis fósseis e os compostos de enxofre (SOx) produzidos pela oxidação das impurezas sulfurosas existentes na maior parte dos carvões e petróleos. Os efeitos ambientais da precipitação ácida levaram à adopção, pela generalidade dos países, de medidas legais restritivas da queima de combustíveis ricos em enxofre e obrigando à adopção de tecnologias de redução das emissões de azoto reactivo para a atmosfera. @pt
definition: Acid rain is a rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic, meaning that it possesses elevated levels of hydrogen ions. It can have harmful effects on plants, aquatic animals, and infrastructure through the process of wet deposition. Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids. Governments have made efforts since the 1970s to reduce the release of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere with positive results. Nitrogen oxides can also be produced naturally by lightning strikes and sulfur dioxide is produced by volcanic eruptions. The chemicals found in acid rain can cause paint to peel and stone statues to begin to appear old and worn down, which reduces their value and beauty.
definition: Als sauren Regen bezeichnet man Niederschlag, dessen pH-Wert niedriger ist als der pH-Wert, der sich in reinem Wasser durch den natürlichen Kohlenstoffdioxidgehalt der Atmosphäre einstellt (pH-Wert ≤ 5,5). Hauptursache für den Sauren Regen ist die Luftverschmutzung, insbesondere durch säurebildende Abgase. Saurer Regen schädigt Natur und Umwelt und ist ein Hauptverursacher des sogenannten Waldsterbens. Neben dem sauren Regen muss ebenfalls die Schädigung von Pflanzen durch Nebel (saurer Nebel) in Betracht gezogen werden. Nebelwasser ist häufig deutlich saurer (hat einen niedrigeren pH-Wert) als Regenwasser, da Nebel effizienter Schadstoffe aus der Luft aufnimmt als Regen. Saurer Regen wird durch Transmission (Verteilung der Schadstoffemissionen in der Atmosphäre durch Wind etc. ) häufig in weit entfernten Regionen verursacht. Das bedeutet, dass der Verursacher und der Empfänger von saurem Regen oft verschiedene Staaten sind. Beispielhaft dafür ist die transnationale Umweltverschmutzung in Ostasien. @de
definition: Fichier:Acid rain woods1. JPG Une forêt dévastée par les pluies acides, République tchèque L'expression « pluie acide » a été pour la première fois utilisée par Robert Angus Smith en 1872. Elle décrit depuis toutes les formes de précipitations qui dégradent voire détruisent des écosystèmes et/ou corrodent ou dissolvent certains bâtiments anciens et fragiles. L'acidité de ces retombées a deux origines principales : des sources naturelles ou semi-naturelles; proximité d'émissions volcaniques soufrées, NOx produits par la foudre, gaz issus de certaines formes de décomposition biologique terrestres, ou émis par les océans, feux de forêts… des sources anthropiques, dont l'industrie, les centrales thermiques, le chauffage et les transports… Les pluies acides résultent essentiellement de la pollution de l’air par le dioxyde de soufre (SO2) produit par l’usage de combustibles fossiles riches en soufre, ainsi que des oxydes d’azote qui se forment lors de toute combustion de l’atmosphère, produisant de l'acide nitrique. En ce qui concerne l’action humaine sur l'environnement, les usines, le chauffage et la circulation automobile sont les principales sources. L'acide chlorhydrique issu de l'incinération de certains déchets plastiques, et l'ammoniac généré par les activités agricoles contribuent également aux pluies acides. D’autres produits, tels que par exemple le dioxyde de carbone (CO2) qui produit de l'acide carbonique lorsqu'il se dissout dans l'eau, et les acides fluorhydriques sont en cause, mais moindrement. L'acidification de l'air a des conséquences désormais médiatisées sur la forêt, mais elle affecte aussi la santé humaine, les bâtiments et peut-être de nombreuses espèces animales, fongiques, lichéniques et végétales. Des conséquences secondaires à l'acidification des pluies, sont l'acidification de certaines eaux de surface (lacs d'Europe du Nord par exemple) et l'acidification des océans. @fr
definition: Försurning innebär att sura ämnen tillförs marker och vattendrag i högre takt än de bortförs eller neutraliseras. Den största källan till den antropogena försurningen i Sverige är förbränning av fossila bränslen. Kväveoxider och svaveldioxid är de två ämnena i avgaserna som försurar mest. En stor del av dessa ämnen förs med vindarna från land till land. I naturen finns det också gott om naturliga försurningsprocesser, till exempel upptag av växtnäring och nitrifikation. Sveriges humida klimat medför en naturlig urlakning av baskatjoner, vilket också är en försurande process., Surt regn har ett pH-värde under det normala, (omkring 5,6), och beror främst på utsläpp av svaveldioxid och kväveoxider, eller NOx, till atmosfären. Dessa reagerar med vatten i molnen och bildar syror. Syrorna kan transporteras långa sträckor med molnen tills de faller som nederbörd. Orsakerna till surt regn är såväl naturliga, till exempel vulkaner och skogsbränder, som orsakade av mänskliga aktiviteter, till exempel kraftproduktion, industrier och transporter. Surt regn bidrar kraftigt till försurning av sjöar och skogar. Detta medför bland annat att fiskar dör och att trädens blad torkar ut. I marken skadas växternas rothår, vilket försvårar upptagningen av växtnäring. Surt regn bidrar till urlakningen av olika näringsämnen som genom perkolation hamnar i grundvattnet dit växternas rötter inte når. Surt regn verkar även korroderande på flera material. Byggnader och statyer tar skada när syrorna reagerar med kalciumet i material som kalksten och marmor. @sv
definition: Happamoituminen tarkoittaa elinympäristön kuten järven tai metsämaan vähentynyttä kykyä neutraloida happoja, minkä seurauksena pH alenee eli vesi tulee happamaksi. Happamoituminen on luonnollinen prosessi kasvien vaihtaessa maan ravinnekationeja vety­ioneihin sekä ilman hiilidioksidin liuetessa maaveteen hiili­hapoksi. Happamoitumista aiheuttaa myös happamoittavien yhdisteiden laskeuma, jota tulee luonnon lähteiden lisäksi merkittäviä määriä ihmistoiminnan seurauksena. Happamoitumisesta on monin paikoin muodostunut vakava ympäristöongelma, koska maan alentunut pH-tila heikentää anionisten ravinteiden saatavuutta kasveille ja lisää monille eliöille myrkyllisten alumiini- ja raskasmetallikationien liukoisuutta. Happamoittavia yhdisteitä ovat esimerkiksi typen oksidit, rikkidioksidi ja kasvien erittämät orgaaniset hapot. Mainittuja oksideja vapautuu energian­tuotannon, teollisuuden ja liikenteen polttoaineista sekä tulivuorten purkauksista. Maaperän typpimäärää lisää myös lannoitteiden käyttö maanviljelyssä. Ammoniakkia tulee pääasiassa maanviljelyn lannoitteista ja varsinkin huonosti säilötystä karjanlannasta. Ilmavirtaukset saattavat viedä päästöistä johtuvat happamat tai happamoittavat yhdisteet jopa tuhansien kilometrien päähän, jolloin saasteen tuottaja ei ole välitön kärsijä. Typpiyhdisteiden käyttö aiheuttaa happamoitumisen lisäksi myös vesistöjen rehevöitymistä. Rehevöitymisestä seuraa mm. vesistöjen samenemista, vesikasvien ja leväkukintojen määrän lisääntymistä, talvista happikatoa sekä muutoksia ja uhkia ekosysteemiin. @fi
definition: Il fenomeno della deposizione acida, maggiormente noto al grande pubblico con il termine di piogge acide, consiste nella deposizione acida umida ovvero la ricaduta dall'atmosfera sul suolo di particelle acide, le molecole acide diffuse nell'atmosfera vengono catturate e deposte al suolo da precipitazioni quali: piogge, neve, nebbie, rugiade, ecc. ; Tale processo si distingue dal fenomeno della deposizione acida secca nella quale la ricaduta dall’atmosfera di particelle acide non è veicolata dalle precipitazioni ed avviene per effetto della forza di gravità. In questo caso si parla quindi di depositi secchi . Una pioggia viene definita acida quando il suo pH è minore di 5, normalmente il pH della pioggia assume valori compresi fra 5 e 6.5 ed è costituita prevalentemente da acqua distillata e pulviscolo atmosferico, mentre la composizione delle deposizioni acide umide è data per circa il 70% da anidride solforica, che reagisce in acqua dando acido solforico.

definition: La lluvia ácida se forma cuando la humedad en el aire se combina con los óxidos de nitrógeno y el dióxido de azufre emitidos por fábricas, centrales eléctricas y vehículos que queman carbón o productos derivados del petróleo. En interacción con el vapor de agua, estos gases forman ácido sulfúrico y ácidos nítricos. Finalmente, estas sustancias químicas caen a la tierra acompañando a las precipitaciones, constituyendo la lluvia ácida. Los contaminantes atmosféricos primarios que dan origen a la lluvia ácida pueden recorrer grandes distancias, siendo trasladados por los vientos cientos o miles de kilómetros antes de precipitar en forma de rocío, lluvia, llovizna, granizo, nieve, niebla o neblina. Cuando la precipitación se produce, puede provocar importantes deterioros en el ambiente. La lluvia normalmente presenta un pH de aproximadamente 5.65 (ligeramente ácido), debido a la presencia del CO2 atmosférico, que forma ácido carbónico, H2CO3. Se considera lluvia ácida si presenta un pH de menos de 5 y puede alcanzar el pH del vinagre (pH 3). Estos valores de pH se alcanzan por la presencia de ácidos como el ácido sulfúrico, H2SO4, y el ácido nítrico, HNO3. Estos ácidos se forman a partir del dióxido de azufre, SO2, y el monóxido de nitrógeno que se convierten en ácidos. Los hidrocarburos y el carbón usados como fuente de energía, en grandes cantidades, pueden también producir óxidos de azufre y nitrógeno y el dióxido de azufre emitidos por fábricas, centrales eléctricas y vehículos que queman carbón o productos derivados del petróleo. @es

definition: 酸雨正式的名稱是為酸性沉降，它可分為「濕沈降」與「乾沈降」兩大類，前者指的是所有氣狀污染物或粒狀污染物，隨著雨、雪、霧或雹等降水型態而落到地面者，後者則是指在不下雨的日子，從空中降下來的落塵所帶的酸性物質而言。 在化學上定義水之酸鹼值等於七為中性，小於則是酸性。自然大氣中含有大量二氧化碳，二氧化碳在常溫時溶解於雨水中並達到氣液相平衡後，雨水之酸鹼值約為 5.6，因此大自然的雨水是酸的。 但是，在大自然中，仍存在其他致酸的物質，例如，火山爆發所噴出的硫化氫，海洋所釋放出的二甲基硫，高空閃電所導致之氮氧化物等，均會使雨水進一步酸化，而酸鹼值會降至 5.0 左右。因此，在 1980 年代後期以來，許多國內外（包含環保署研究報告）研究者，已將所謂「酸雨」認知為當雨水酸鹼值在 5.0 以下時，即確定受到人為酸性污染物的影響。 在環保署研究報告中，已統一雨水酸鹼值達 5.0以下時，正式定義為「酸雨」。例如，若以環保署台北酸雨監測站 1990-1998 年之有效雨水化學分析資料為準，顯示約九成降水天數的雨水pH值在 5.6 以下，而酸雨發生機率則為七成五左右。 @zh

Caesium-137 was the principal product released into the atmosphere, and hence the food chain, from atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons and from the Windscale fire and Chernobyl nuclear accidents. After the Chernobyl accident, which spread a radiation cloud across Europe, the European Commission proposed new and more restrictive limits on levels of caesium in food and drinking water.

definition: [GEMET] A very reactive and highly toxic green, gaseous element, belonging to the halogen family of substances. It is one of the most widespread elements, as it occurs naturally in sea-water, salt lakes and underground deposits, but usually occurs in a safe form as common salt (NaCl). Commercially it is used in large quantities by the chemical industry both as an element to produce chlorinated organic solvents, like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and for the manufacture of polyvinyl chloride plastics, thermoplastic and hypochlorite bleaches. Chlorine was the basis for the organochlorine pesticides, like DDT and other agricultural chemicals that have killed wildlife. The reactivity of chlorine has proved disastrous for the ozone layer and has been the cause of the creation of the ozone hole, which was first detected in the Southern Hemisphere over Antarctica and then over the Northern Hemisphere.

definition: [GEMET] Coral reefs have been built up from the skeletons of reef-building coral a small primitive marine animal, and other marine animals and algae over thousands of years. They occur in clear, shallow and sunlit seas. Coral reefs are one of the most productive and diverse ecosystems and are estimated to yield about 12% of the world's fish catch. They are very vulnerable to any change in their environment, especially pollution, because it makes the water opaque. They must have light in order that photosyntesis by the algae can take place. Like trees, corals reflect the environmental conditions in which they grow, indicating marine pollution, sea-surface temperature and other aquatic conditions.

definition: Als Neobiota bezeichnet man Arten und untergeordnete Taxa, die durch menschliche Einflussnahme Einzug in ein Gebiet erhielten, in dem sie nicht einheimisch sind. Als Unterbegriff für eingeschleppte Pflanzen ist Neophyten (Sing. Neophyt) gebräuchlich, analog dazu existiert für Tiere der Begriff Neozoen (Sing. Neozoon). Ein verschleppter Pilz ist ein Neomycet. Diese vier Begriffe sind vor allem im deutschsprachigen Raum gebräuchlich, im Englischen werden vorwiegend Begriffe wie invasive species (invasive Art) oder alien species ohne Unterscheidung zwischen Pflanzen, Tieren und Pilzen verwendet. Das zugehörige Teilgebiet der Biologie ist die Invasionsbiologie. Den Vorgang der Einschleppung, Etablierung und Ausbreitung im neuen Gebiet bezeichnet man als biologische Invasion. Zu den wichtigsten Transportmitteln für Neobiota gehört z. B. der weltweite Güterverkehr, der die unbeabsichtigte Verschleppung von Neobiota ermöglicht. Neobiota zeichnen sich meist durch typische Eigenschaften wie Anpassungsfähigkeit, hohe Fortpflanzungsrate und oft auch eine Assoziation mit Menschen aus. Diese Eigenschaften bestimmen im Zusammenspiel mit der Anfälligkeit des neuen Gebietes für biologische Invasoren und der Anzahl verschleppter Individuen (engl. propagule pressure) die Erfolgswahrscheinlichkeit, mit der sich nach einem Ausbreitungsereignis eine stabile Population etabliert. Während zahlreiche Neobiota keine merklichen negativen Auswirkungen verursachen, geht von einigen etablierten Neobiota ein stark negativer Einfluss auf die Biodiversität ihres neuen Lebensraumes aus. Oft verändert sich die Zusammensetzung der Biozönose beträchtlich, zum Beispiel durch Prädation oder als Folge von Konkurrenzdruck. Ebenso können Neobiota wirtschaftlichen Schaden anrichten, zum Beispiel als Forst- und Landwirtschaftsschädlinge. Gleichzeitig treten sie als Vektoren von Pathogenen in Erscheinung, welche teilweise auch Nutzpflanzen, Nutztiere und den Menschen befallen können., Als Biologische Invasion… @de

definition: Invasive species', or invasive exotics, is a nomenclature term and categorization phrase used for flora and fauna, and for specific restoration-preservation processes in native habitats, with several definitions. The first definition, the most used, applies to non-indigenous species, or 'non-native', plants or animals that adversely affect the habitats and bioregions they invade economically, environmentally, and/or ecologically. They disrupt by dominating a region, wilderness areas, particular habitats, and/or wildland-urban interface land from loss of natural controls. This includes non-native labeled as exotic pest plants and invasive exotics, in restoration parlance, growing in native plant communities. It has been used in this sense by government organizations as well as conservation groups such as the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the California Native Plant Society. The European Union defines 'Invasive Alien Species' as those that are, firstly, outside their natural distribution area, and secondly, threaten biological diversity. It is also used by land managers, botanists, researchers, horticulturalists, conservationists, and the public for noxious weeds. The kudzu vine (Pueraria lobata), Andean Pampas grass (Cortaderia jubata), and yellow starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis) are examples. The second definition includes the first, but broadens the boundaries to include indigenous or native species, with the non-native ones, that disrupt by a dominant colonization of a particular habitat or wildlands area from loss of natural controls . Deer are an example, considered to be overpopulating their native zones and adjacent suburban gardens, by some in the Northeastern and Pacific Coast regions of the United States. The third definition identifies invasive species as a widespread nonindigenous species. This one can be too broad, as not every nonindigenous or 'introduced' species has an adverse effect on a nonindigenous environment. A no…
definition: Las especies invasoras son animales, plantas u otros organismos transportados e introducidos por el ser humano en lugares fuera de su área de distribución natural y que han conseguido establecerse y dispersarse en la nueva región, donde resultan dañinos. Que una especie invasora resulta dañina, significa que produce cambios importantes en la composición, la estructura o los procesos de los ecosistemas naturales o seminaturales, poniendo en peligro la diversidad biológica nativa (en diversidad de especies, diversidad dentro de las poblaciones o diversidad de ecosistemas). Debido a sus impactos en los ecosistemas donde han sido introducidas tales especies son consideradas ingenieros de ecosistemas. Los seres humanos han causado cambios sin precedentes en los ecosistemas de todo el planeta y han redistribuido las especies vegetales y animales de forma voluntaria o accidental. Como consecuencia de estos cambios ciertas especies tienen un comportamiento invasivo en las localidades de introducción, siendo más susceptibles los hábitats alterados o degradados. Estas invasiones llevan asociadas varios problemas. A nivel ecológico destaca la pérdida de diversidad autóctona y la degradación de los hábitats invadidos. Económicamente son importantes los efectos directos sobre las actividades agropecuarias y la salud pública. Una vez detectada la invasión, su control y erradicación son costosos y no siempre posibles. Identificar los invasores potenciales y evitar su establecimiento es el mejor camino para frenar un problema que incrementa al mismo ritmo que la globalización. @es

definition: 外来種（がいらいしゅ）とは、他地域から人為的に持ち込まれた生物種。この定義では、栽培植物の大部分は外来種となる。園芸の分野では、通常この意味でこの語を使用する。 一方、環境の分野でこの語を使用するときは、通常、特に野生化して世代交代を繰り返すようになり、生態系に定着した動植物をいい、1世代で死滅するものなどはこれに含めない。 類義語に移入種、人為移入種、帰化種があり、植物の場合特に帰化植物、動物の場合特に帰化動物ともいう。 通例、「種」より下位の「亜種」または「変種」であっても「外来種」に含められるが、混乱を嫌って「移入個体群」のような用語を用いる場合もある。 @ja

Magnesium is the fourth-most-common element in the Earth as a whole (behind iron, oxygen and silicon), making up 13% of the planet's mass and a large fraction of the planet's mantle. Due to magnesium ion's high solubility in water, it is the third-most-abundant element dissolved in seawater. Magnesium is produced in stars larger than 3 solar masses by fusing helium and neon in the alpha process at temperatures above 600 megakelvins. It is important for the activity of many enzymes, especially those involved in oxidative phosphorylation.

Mutation
modified: 2019-06-12
broader: biological process
definition: [Henderson's] n. a change in the amount or chemical structure of DNA resulting in a change in the characteristics of an organ­ism or an individual cell. The changes are due to alterations in, or non-production of, proteins (or RNAs) speciﬁed by the altered DNA. Mutations occurring in body cells of multicellular organisms are called somatic mutations and are only passed on to the immediate descendants of those cells. Mutations occurring in germline cells can be inherited by the offspring. Mutations can occur spontane­ously as a result of errors in normal cell processes, e.g. DNA replication, or can be induced by certain chemicals or radia­tion. Alterations in DNA that do not cause any phenotypic change are also sometimes called mutations (silent muta­tions or neutral mutations). see also back mutation, base substitution, deletion, frameshift, insertion, neutral mutation, point mutation, translocation, transposition, transversion, revertant, silent mutation, wild type.

nitric acid
is replaced by: nitric acid
deprecated: true
alternative label: HNO3
broader: deprecated concept
definition: Nitric acid (HNO3), also known as aqua fortis and spirit of niter, is a highly corrosive strong mineral acid. The pure compound is colorless, but older samples tend to acquire a yellow cast due to decomposition into oxides of nitrogen and water. Most commercially available nitric acid has a concentration of 68%. When the solution contains more than 86% HNO3, it is referred to as fuming nitric acid. Depending on the amount of nitrogen dioxide present, fuming nitric acid is further characterized as white fuming nitric acid or red fuming nitric acid, at concentrations above 95%. Nitric acid is the primary reagent used for nitration - the addition of a nitro group, typically to an organic molecule. While some resulting nitro compounds are shock- and thermally-sensitive explosives, a few are stable enough to be used in munitions and demolition, while others are still more stable and used as pigments in inks and dyes. Nitric acid is also commonly used as a strong oxidizing agent.

shrews

definition: A shrew or shrew mouse (family Soricidae) is a small mole-like mammal classified in the order Soricomorpha. True shrews are also not to be confused with West Indies shrews, treeshrews, otter shrews, or elephant shrews, which belong to different families or orders.Although its external appearance is generally that of a long-nosed mouse, a shrew is not a rodent, as mice are, and is in fact more closely related to moles. Shrews have sharp, spike-like teeth, not the familiar gnawing front incisor teeth of rodents.Shrews are distributed almost worldwide: of the major tropical and temperate land masses, only New Guinea, Australia, and New Zealand do not have any native shrews; in South America, shrews are relatively recent immigrants and are present only in the northern Andes. In terms of species diversity, the shrew family is the fourth most successful mammal family, being rivalled only by the muroid rodent families Muridae and Cricetidae and the bat family Vespertilionidae.

definition: Art inom keltisk mytolgi, se Art (keltisk mytologi) Art eller det biologiska artbegreppet är ett begrepp inom biologi. I biologisk systematik delar man in organismerna i grupper som är nära släkt med varandra och grupper av grupper som är ganska nära släkt med varandra, och så vidare i en hierarki. Art är den grupp som i betydelse ligger närmast vardagsspråkets betydelse för djursort. Som exempel är lejon, tiger och katt både olika djur i vardagsspråket och olika arter i vetenskaplig mening. Länge ansågs artbegreppet som den självklara grundläggande (minsta) enheten i systematiken. Sedan uppkomsten av evolutionsteorin har begreppet dock undergått djupgående förändringar. Ändå har man inte lyckats enas om en definition av begreppet. Den nu vanligaste definitionen myntades av Ernst Mayr. Den säger att en art utgörs av populationer, vars individer kan föröka sig tillsammans men inte med någon individ som tillhör en population som inte tillhör arten. Alla arter är definierade av en typ. En typ är en unik organism som fungerar som referens för definitionen av en specifik art. Varje art har en typ. @sv
definition: Dans les sciences du vivant, l’espèce (du latin species, « type » ou « apparence ») est le taxon de base de la systématique. Il existe plus d'une vingtaine de définitions de l'espèce dans la littérature scientifique. La définition la plus communément admise est celle du concept biologique de l'espèce énoncé par Ernst Mayr (1942) : une espèce est une population ou un ensemble de populations dont les individus peuvent effectivement ou potentiellement se reproduire entre eux et engendrer une descendance viable et féconde, dans des conditions naturelles. Ainsi, l'espèce est la plus grande unité de population au sein de laquelle le flux génétique est possible alors que les individus d'une même espèce sont génétiquement isolés d’autres ensembles équivalents du point de vue reproductif. Pourtant le critère d’interfécondité ne peut pas toujours être vérifié : c'est le cas pour les fossiles, les organismes asexués ou pour des espèces rares ou difficiles à observer. D’autres définitions peuvent donc être utilisées : espèce morphologique : groupe d'individus défini par des caractéristiques structurales (taille, forme…) espèce phylogénétique : la plus petite lignée d’une population pouvant être définie par une combinaison unique de caractères diagnostiques; espèce écologique : groupe d’organismes partageant une même niche écologique; espèce phénétique : ensemble d’organismes vivants se ressemblant (critères de similitudes morphologiques, anatomiques, embryologiques, etc. ) plus entre eux qu’à d’autres ensembles équivalents. @fr
definition: Die Art oder Spezies ist die Grundeinheit der biologischen Systematik. Eine allgemeine Definition der Art oder Spezies, die die theoretischen und praktischen Anforderungen aller biologischen Teildisziplinen gleichermaßen erfüllt, ist bislang nicht gelungen. Vielmehr existieren in der Biologie verschiedene Artkonzepte, die zu unterschiedlichen Klassifikationen führen. Das Problem der Artdefinition besteht eigentlich aus zwei Teilproblemen: Gruppenbildung (Welche Individuen gehören zusammen?) und Rangbildung (Welche der zahlreichen, ineinander geschachtelten Gruppen abgestufter Ähnlichkeiten und Beziehungen wollen wir 'Art' nennen?) . Die Hauptunterschiede der verschiedenen Artkonzepte liegen dabei auf der Ebene der Rangbildung. Eine Gruppe von Lebewesen unabhängig von ihrem Rang nennen Taxonomen eine 'Sippe' oder ein 'Taxon'. @de
definition: En biología se denomina especie a cada uno de los grupos en que se dividen los géneros, es decir, la limitación de lo genérico en un ámbito morfológicamente concreto. En biología, una especie es la unidad básica de la clasificación biológica. Una especie se define a menudo como grupo de organismos capaces de entrecruzar y de producir descendencia fértil. Mientras que en muchos casos esta definición es adecuada, medidas más exactas o que diferencian más son de uso frecuente, por ejemplo basado en la semejanza del ADN o en la presencia de rasgos local-adaptados específicos. Es un grupo de poblaciones naturales cuyos miembros pueden cruzarse entre sí, pero no pueden hacerlo -o al menos no lo hacen habitualmente- con los miembros de poblaciones pertenecientes a otras especies. En este concepto, el aislamiento en la reproducción respecto de otras especies es central. Es un grupo de organismos reproductivamente homogéneo, pero muy cambiante a lo largo del tiempo y del espacio. En muchos casos los grupos de organismos que se separan de la población original, y quedan aislados del resto, pueden alcanzar una diferenciación suficiente como para convertirse en una nueva especie. Los nombres de uso general para los taxa de la planta y del animal corresponden a veces a la especie: por ejemplo, «león», «morsa» y «árbol de alcanfor». Pero no a menudo: por ejemplo, la palabra «ciervo» se refiere a una familia de 34 especies, incluyendo el ciervo eurasiático y el wapiti, que una vez fueron consideradas una sola especie pero que se ha encontrado que son dos. Una definición apropiada de la palabra «especie» y métodos de confianza para identificar una especie particular es esencial para indicar y probar teorías biológicas y para la biodiversidad que mide. Tradicionalmente, los ejemplos múltiples de una especie propuesta se deben estudiar para los caracteres de la unificación antes de que pueda ser mirada como especie.

definition: Espécie, é um conceito fundamental da Biologia que designa a unidade básica do sistema taxonómico utilizado na classificação científica dos seres vivos. Embora existam múltiplas definições, nenhuma delas consensual, o conceito estrutura-se em torno da constituição de agrupamentos de indivíduos com profundas semelhanças estruturais e funcionais recíprocas, resultantes da partilha de um cariótipo idêntico, expresso numa estrutura cromossómica das células diplóides similar, que lhes confere acentuada uniformidade bioquímica e a capacidade de reprodução entre si, originando descendentes férteis e com o mesmo quadro geral de caracteres, num processo que, quando envolva um organismo sexuado, deve permitir descendentes férteis de ambos os sexos. Apesar de terem sido propostas múltiplas definições mais precisas, a dificuldade em encontrar uma definição universal para o conceito levou ao aparecimento do chamado problema da espécie e à adopção de formulações flexíveis utilizadas de forma pragmática em função das especificidades do grupo biológico a que o conceito é aplicado. @pt
definition: For opplæringsmetoden ART, se Aggression Replacement Training. Arten er en av de mest grunnleggende enhetene i biologien. En mye brukt definisjon er Ernst Mayrs biologiske artsbegrep: Arter er grupper av naturlige populasjoner som forplanter seg med hverandre, og som forplantningsmessig er isolert fra andre slike grupper. Mer presist kan man, med få unntak, si at en art er en gruppe individer som kan få fertilt (fruktbart) avkom med hverandre. Ofte kan ulike arter få felles avkom, men dette avkommet vil i sin tur normalt ikke selv være fertilt. I systematikken er arten den basale kategorien, det vil si at enhver organisme hører til en. og bare én, art. Arten er dessuten den eneste kategorien som ikke er vilkårlig: Kategorier over artsnivået og kategorier under artsnivået avgrenses i tråd med det biologiske skjønn hos en systematiker. Arter derimot, er ifølge det biologiske artsbegrepet «selvdefinerende» enheter. Det vil si at spørsmålet om to organismer hører til samme art er av vitenskapelig karakter, det kan ikke avgjøres ved skjønn. Dersom genflyt mellom to populasjoner er mulig, hører de til samme art. Om genflyt er umulig, hører populasjonene til forskjellige arter. Det er her viktig å presisere under hvilke omstendigheter genflyten skjer. Bare hvis genflyten mellom to tilsynelatende forskjellige arter skjer i naturlige omgivelser og uten noen som helst menneskelig innblanding, tilrettelegging eller annen manipulering, så har man samme art eller to underarter. Det er organismen selv som i frihet avgjør om den er en selvstendig art eller ikke. Og vitenskapens rolle er her bare å passivt registrere dette. Skjer derimot genflyten mellom to arter manipulert, som å flytte dem nærmere hverandre eller holde dem i fangenskap, drivhus, kastrere alle hanner av den ene art ol. , så er ikke det tilstrekkelig til å klassifisere dem som av samme art eller som underarter. Det skal da klassifiseres som raser. I praksis bruker man derimot også en del andre artsbegreper som defi… @no

Eliöt on tapana järjestää sukulaisuusuhteiden mukaan hierarkkiseksi järjestelmäksi eli luokitetella. Tämän järjestelmän perusyksikkö on laji. Maapallolla nykyään eläviä lajeja ihminen tuntee noin 1,4 miljoonaa, mutta lajien todellisen lukumäärän arvioidaan olevan 5—50 miljoonaa. Lajit eivät eroa toisistaan aina selkeästi. Luokitteluun erikoistunut tutkija, dosentti Jyrki Muona on sanonut: 'Laji on psykologinen fiktio, joka johtuu siitä, että ihminen itse on niin omalaatuinen ja helposti tunnistettava olento.

Chemically, sulfur can react as either an oxidant or reducing agent. It oxidizes most metals and several nonmetals, including carbon, which leads to its negative charge in most organosulfur compounds, but it reduces several strong oxidants, such as oxygen and fluorine.

This meaning is less common in America, where topographic maps with elevation contours have made \"topography\" synonymous with relief. The older sense of topography as the study of place still has currency in Europe.

ungulates

definition: [Henderson's] n.plu. hoofed mammals. see Artiodactyla, Perissodactyla. , "Ungulates are a diverse group of large mammals, most of which use the tips of their toes, usually hoofed, to sustain their whole body weight while moving. The term means, roughly, being hoofed or hoofed animal. As a descriptive term, ungulate normally excludes cetaceans, as they do not possess most of the typical morphological characteristics of ungulates; recent discoveries indicate that they are descended from early artiodactyls, and thus are directly related to other even-toed ungulates such as cattle, with hippopotamuses being their closest living relatives. As a result of these discoveries, the new order Cetartiodactyla has been proposed to include the members of Artiodactyla and Cetacea, to reflect their common ancestry; however, strictly speaking, this is merely a matter of nomenclature, since it is possible simply to recognize Cetacea as a subgroup of Artiodactyla.

The concept of water column is quite important, since many aquatic phenomena are explained by the incomplete vertical mixing of chemical, physical or biological parameters. For example, when studying the metabolism of benthic organisms, it is the specific bottom layer concentration of available chemicals in the water column that is meaningful, rather than the average value of those chemicals throughout the water column.

A principal causa daquela acidificação é a presença na atmosfera terrestre de gases e partículas ricos em enxofre e azoto reactivo cuja hidrólise no meio atmosférico produz ácidos fortes. Assumem particular importância os compostos azotados (NOx) gerados pelas altas temperaturas de queima dos combustíveis fósseis e os compostos de enxofre (SOx) produzidos pela oxidação das impurezas sulfurosas existentes na maior parte dos carvões e petróleos. Os efeitos ambientais da precipitação ácida levaram à adopção, pela generalidade dos países, de medidas legais restritivas da queima de combustíveis ricos em enxofre e obrigando à adopção de tecnologias de redução das emissões de azoto reactivo para a atmosfera. @pt
definition: Acid rain is a rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic, meaning that it possesses elevated levels of hydrogen ions. It can have harmful effects on plants, aquatic animals, and infrastructure through the process of wet deposition. Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids. Governments have made efforts since the 1970s to reduce the release of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere with positive results. Nitrogen oxides can also be produced naturally by lightning strikes and sulfur dioxide is produced by volcanic eruptions. The chemicals found in acid rain can cause paint to peel and stone statues to begin to appear old and worn down, which reduces their value and beauty.
definition: Als sauren Regen bezeichnet man Niederschlag, dessen pH-Wert niedriger ist als der pH-Wert, der sich in reinem Wasser durch den natürlichen Kohlenstoffdioxidgehalt der Atmosphäre einstellt (pH-Wert ≤ 5,5). Hauptursache für den Sauren Regen ist die Luftverschmutzung, insbesondere durch säurebildende Abgase. Saurer Regen schädigt Natur und Umwelt und ist ein Hauptverursacher des sogenannten Waldsterbens. Neben dem sauren Regen muss ebenfalls die Schädigung von Pflanzen durch Nebel (saurer Nebel) in Betracht gezogen werden. Nebelwasser ist häufig deutlich saurer (hat einen niedrigeren pH-Wert) als Regenwasser, da Nebel effizienter Schadstoffe aus der Luft aufnimmt als Regen. Saurer Regen wird durch Transmission (Verteilung der Schadstoffemissionen in der Atmosphäre durch Wind etc. ) häufig in weit entfernten Regionen verursacht. Das bedeutet, dass der Verursacher und der Empfänger von saurem Regen oft verschiedene Staaten sind. Beispielhaft dafür ist die transnationale Umweltverschmutzung in Ostasien. @de
definition: Fichier:Acid rain woods1. JPG Une forêt dévastée par les pluies acides, République tchèque L'expression « pluie acide » a été pour la première fois utilisée par Robert Angus Smith en 1872. Elle décrit depuis toutes les formes de précipitations qui dégradent voire détruisent des écosystèmes et/ou corrodent ou dissolvent certains bâtiments anciens et fragiles. L'acidité de ces retombées a deux origines principales : des sources naturelles ou semi-naturelles; proximité d'émissions volcaniques soufrées, NOx produits par la foudre, gaz issus de certaines formes de décomposition biologique terrestres, ou émis par les océans, feux de forêts… des sources anthropiques, dont l'industrie, les centrales thermiques, le chauffage et les transports… Les pluies acides résultent essentiellement de la pollution de l’air par le dioxyde de soufre (SO2) produit par l’usage de combustibles fossiles riches en soufre, ainsi que des oxydes d’azote qui se forment lors de toute combustion de l’atmosphère, produisant de l'acide nitrique. En ce qui concerne l’action humaine sur l'environnement, les usines, le chauffage et la circulation automobile sont les principales sources. L'acide chlorhydrique issu de l'incinération de certains déchets plastiques, et l'ammoniac généré par les activités agricoles contribuent également aux pluies acides. D’autres produits, tels que par exemple le dioxyde de carbone (CO2) qui produit de l'acide carbonique lorsqu'il se dissout dans l'eau, et les acides fluorhydriques sont en cause, mais moindrement. L'acidification de l'air a des conséquences désormais médiatisées sur la forêt, mais elle affecte aussi la santé humaine, les bâtiments et peut-être de nombreuses espèces animales, fongiques, lichéniques et végétales. Des conséquences secondaires à l'acidification des pluies, sont l'acidification de certaines eaux de surface (lacs d'Europe du Nord par exemple) et l'acidification des océans. @fr
definition: Happamoituminen tarkoittaa elinympäristön kuten järven tai metsämaan vähentynyttä kykyä neutraloida happoja, minkä seurauksena pH alenee eli vesi tulee happamaksi. Happamoituminen on luonnollinen prosessi kasvien vaihtaessa maan ravinnekationeja vety­ioneihin sekä ilman hiilidioksidin liuetessa maaveteen hiili­hapoksi. Happamoitumista aiheuttaa myös happamoittavien yhdisteiden laskeuma, jota tulee luonnon lähteiden lisäksi merkittäviä määriä ihmistoiminnan seurauksena. Happamoitumisesta on monin paikoin muodostunut vakava ympäristöongelma, koska maan alentunut pH-tila heikentää anionisten ravinteiden saatavuutta kasveille ja lisää monille eliöille myrkyllisten alumiini- ja raskasmetallikationien liukoisuutta. Happamoittavia yhdisteitä ovat esimerkiksi typen oksidit, rikkidioksidi ja kasvien erittämät orgaaniset hapot. Mainittuja oksideja vapautuu energian­tuotannon, teollisuuden ja liikenteen polttoaineista sekä tulivuorten purkauksista. Maaperän typpimäärää lisää myös lannoitteiden käyttö maanviljelyssä. Ammoniakkia tulee pääasiassa maanviljelyn lannoitteista ja varsinkin huonosti säilötystä karjanlannasta. Ilmavirtaukset saattavat viedä päästöistä johtuvat happamat tai happamoittavat yhdisteet jopa tuhansien kilometrien päähän, jolloin saasteen tuottaja ei ole välitön kärsijä. Typpiyhdisteiden käyttö aiheuttaa happamoitumisen lisäksi myös vesistöjen rehevöitymistä. Rehevöitymisestä seuraa mm. vesistöjen samenemista, vesikasvien ja leväkukintojen määrän lisääntymistä, talvista happikatoa sekä muutoksia ja uhkia ekosysteemiin. @fi

definition: La lluvia ácida se forma cuando la humedad en el aire se combina con los óxidos de nitrógeno y el dióxido de azufre emitidos por fábricas, centrales eléctricas y vehículos que queman carbón o productos derivados del petróleo. En interacción con el vapor de agua, estos gases forman ácido sulfúrico y ácidos nítricos. Finalmente, estas sustancias químicas caen a la tierra acompañando a las precipitaciones, constituyendo la lluvia ácida. Los contaminantes atmosféricos primarios que dan origen a la lluvia ácida pueden recorrer grandes distancias, siendo trasladados por los vientos cientos o miles de kilómetros antes de precipitar en forma de rocío, lluvia, llovizna, granizo, nieve, niebla o neblina. Cuando la precipitación se produce, puede provocar importantes deterioros en el ambiente. La lluvia normalmente presenta un pH de aproximadamente 5.65 (ligeramente ácido), debido a la presencia del CO2 atmosférico, que forma ácido carbónico, H2CO3. Se considera lluvia ácida si presenta un pH de menos de 5 y puede alcanzar el pH del vinagre (pH 3). Estos valores de pH se alcanzan por la presencia de ácidos como el ácido sulfúrico, H2SO4, y el ácido nítrico, HNO3. Estos ácidos se forman a partir del dióxido de azufre, SO2, y el monóxido de nitrógeno que se convierten en ácidos. Los hidrocarburos y el carbón usados como fuente de energía, en grandes cantidades, pueden también producir óxidos de azufre y nitrógeno y el dióxido de azufre emitidos por fábricas, centrales eléctricas y vehículos que queman carbón o productos derivados del petróleo. @es
definition: Sur nedbør er en konsekvens av forurensning i lufta, som kommer ned på jorda sammen med nedbøren. Vi snakker hovedsakelig om tilførsel av to stoffer, svoveldioksid (SO2) og nitrogenoksider (NOx). Oksidene reagerer med vanndamp i atmosfæren, og danner svovelsyre (H2SO4) og salpetersyre (HNO3). Dette gjør at vannet blir surt, og inneholder en pH under 5,6, som kjennertegner sur nedbør. SO2 + H2O ↔ H2SO3 (svovelsyrling) SO3 + H2O ↔ H2SO4 (svovelsyre) @no
definition: Surt regn har ett pH-värde under det normala, (omkring 5,6), och beror främst på utsläpp av svaveldioxid och kväveoxider, eller NOx, till atmosfären. Dessa reagerar med vatten i molnen och bildar syror. Syrorna kan transporteras långa sträckor med molnen tills de faller som nederbörd. Orsakerna till surt regn är såväl naturliga, till exempel vulkaner och skogsbränder, som orsakade av mänskliga aktiviteter, till exempel kraftproduktion, industrier och transporter. Surt regn bidrar kraftigt till försurning av sjöar och skogar. Detta medför bland annat att fiskar dör och att trädens blad torkar ut. I marken skadas växternas rothår, vilket försvårar upptagningen av växtnäring. Surt regn bidrar till urlakningen av olika näringsämnen som genom perkolation hamnar i grundvattnet dit växternas rötter inte når. Surt regn verkar även korroderande på flera material. Byggnader och statyer tar skada när syrorna reagerar med kalciumet i material som kalksten och marmor., Försurning innebär att sura ämnen tillförs marker och vattendrag i högre takt än de bortförs eller neutraliseras. Den största källan till den antropogena försurningen i Sverige är förbränning av fossila bränslen. Kväveoxider och svaveldioxid är de två ämnena i avgaserna som försurar mest. En stor del av dessa ämnen förs med vindarna från land till land. I naturen finns det också gott om naturliga försurningsprocesser, till exempel upptag av växtnäring och nitrifikation. Sveriges humida klimat medför en naturlig urlakning av baskatjoner, vilket också är en försurande process. @sv
definition: 酸性雨（さんせいう）とは、環境問題の一つとして問題視される現象で、大気汚染により降る酸性(厳密にはph5.6以下)の雨のことを指す。酸性の雪は酸性雪（さんせいせつ）、酸性の霧は酸性霧（さんせいむ）と呼ばれる。 @ja
definition: 酸雨正式的名稱是為酸性沉降，它可分為「濕沈降」與「乾沈降」兩大類，前者指的是所有氣狀污染物或粒狀污染物，隨著雨、雪、霧或雹等降水型態而落到地面者，後者則是指在不下雨的日子，從空中降下來的落塵所帶的酸性物質而言。 在化學上定義水之酸鹼值等於七為中性，小於則是酸性。自然大氣中含有大量二氧化碳，二氧化碳在常溫時溶解於雨水中並達到氣液相平衡後，雨水之酸鹼值約為 5.6，因此大自然的雨水是酸的。 但是，在大自然中，仍存在其他致酸的物質，例如，火山爆發所噴出的硫化氫，海洋所釋放出的二甲基硫，高空閃電所導致之氮氧化物等，均會使雨水進一步酸化，而酸鹼值會降至 5.0 左右。因此，在 1980 年代後期以來，許多國內外（包含環保署研究報告）研究者，已將所謂「酸雨」認知為當雨水酸鹼值在 5.0 以下時，即確定受到人為酸性污染物的影響。 在環保署研究報告中，已統一雨水酸鹼值達 5.0以下時，正式定義為「酸雨」。例如，若以環保署台北酸雨監測站 1990-1998 年之有效雨水化學分析資料為準，顯示約九成降水天數的雨水pH值在 5.6 以下，而酸雨發生機率則為七成五左右。 @zh

definition: Als Neobiota bezeichnet man Arten und untergeordnete Taxa, die durch menschliche Einflussnahme Einzug in ein Gebiet erhielten, in dem sie nicht einheimisch sind. Als Unterbegriff für eingeschleppte Pflanzen ist Neophyten (Sing. Neophyt) gebräuchlich, analog dazu existiert für Tiere der Begriff Neozoen (Sing. Neozoon). Ein verschleppter Pilz ist ein Neomycet. Diese vier Begriffe sind vor allem im deutschsprachigen Raum gebräuchlich, im Englischen werden vorwiegend Begriffe wie invasive species (invasive Art) oder alien species ohne Unterscheidung zwischen Pflanzen, Tieren und Pilzen verwendet. Das zugehörige Teilgebiet der Biologie ist die Invasionsbiologie. Den Vorgang der Einschleppung, Etablierung und Ausbreitung im neuen Gebiet bezeichnet man als biologische Invasion. Zu den wichtigsten Transportmitteln für Neobiota gehört z. B. der weltweite Güterverkehr, der die unbeabsichtigte Verschleppung von Neobiota ermöglicht. Neobiota zeichnen sich meist durch typische Eigenschaften wie Anpassungsfähigkeit, hohe Fortpflanzungsrate und oft auch eine Assoziation mit Menschen aus. Diese Eigenschaften bestimmen im Zusammenspiel mit der Anfälligkeit des neuen Gebietes für biologische Invasoren und der Anzahl verschleppter Individuen (engl. propagule pressure) die Erfolgswahrscheinlichkeit, mit der sich nach einem Ausbreitungsereignis eine stabile Population etabliert. Während zahlreiche Neobiota keine merklichen negativen Auswirkungen verursachen, geht von einigen etablierten Neobiota ein stark negativer Einfluss auf die Biodiversität ihres neuen Lebensraumes aus. Oft verändert sich die Zusammensetzung der Biozönose beträchtlich, zum Beispiel durch Prädation oder als Folge von Konkurrenzdruck. Ebenso können Neobiota wirtschaftlichen Schaden anrichten, zum Beispiel als Forst- und Landwirtschaftsschädlinge. Gleichzeitig treten sie als Vektoren von Pathogenen in Erscheinung, welche teilweise auch Nutzpflanzen, Nutztiere und den Menschen befallen können., Als Biologische Invasion… @de

I Norge holder Artsdatabanken rede på invaderende arter gjennom FremmedArtsBasen. , "'Invasive species', or invasive exotics, is a nomenclature term and categorization phrase used for flora and fauna, and for specific restoration-preservation processes in native habitats, with several definitions. The first definition, the most used, applies to non-indigenous species, or 'non-native', plants or animals that adversely affect the habitats and bioregions they invade economically, environmentally, and/or ecologically. They disrupt by dominating a region, wilderness areas, particular habitats, and/or wildland-urban interface land from loss of natural controls. This includes non-native labeled as exotic pest plants and invasive exotics, in restoration parlance, growing in native plant communities. It has been used in this sense by government organizations as well as conservation groups such as the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the California Native Plant Society. The European Union defines 'Invasive Alien Species' as those that are, firstly, outside their natural distribution area, and secondly, threaten biological diversity. It is also used by land managers, botanists, researchers, horticulturalists, conservationists, and the public for noxious weeds. The kudzu vine (Pueraria lobata), Andean Pampas grass (Cortaderia jubata), and yellow starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis) are examples. The second definition includes the first, but broadens the boundaries to include indigenous or native sp…

definition: Gatunek inwazyjny - gatunek alochtoniczny o znacznej ekspansywności, który rozprzestrzenia się naturalnie lub z udziałem człowieka i stanowi zagrożenie dla fauny i flory danego ekosystemu, konkurując z gatunkami autochtonicznymi o niszę ekologiczną, a także przyczyniając się do wyginięcia gatunków miejscowych. Gatunki inwazyjne stanowią drugie, zaraz po niszczeniu siedlisk największe zagrożenie dla światowej bioróżnorodności. Inwazyjne gatunki roślin stanowią szczególny problem na obszarach chronionych, wypierając rodzime gatunki roślin, dla ochrony których utworzono te obszary. W takim przypadku zachodzi konieczność usuwania intruzów (głównie przez mechaniczne niszczenie).

definition: Las especies invasoras son animales, plantas u otros organismos transportados e introducidos por el ser humano en lugares fuera de su área de distribución natural y que han conseguido establecerse y dispersarse en la nueva región, donde resultan dañinos. Que una especie invasora resulta dañina, significa que produce cambios importantes en la composición, la estructura o los procesos de los ecosistemas naturales o seminaturales, poniendo en peligro la diversidad biológica nativa (en diversidad de especies, diversidad dentro de las poblaciones o diversidad de ecosistemas). Debido a sus impactos en los ecosistemas donde han sido introducidas tales especies son consideradas ingenieros de ecosistemas. Los seres humanos han causado cambios sin precedentes en los ecosistemas de todo el planeta y han redistribuido las especies vegetales y animales de forma voluntaria o accidental. Como consecuencia de estos cambios ciertas especies tienen un comportamiento invasivo en las localidades de introducción, siendo más susceptibles los hábitats alterados o degradados. Estas invasiones llevan asociadas varios problemas. A nivel ecológico destaca la pérdida de diversidad autóctona y la degradación de los hábitats invadidos. Económicamente son importantes los efectos directos sobre las actividades agropecuarias y la salud pública. Una vez detectada la invasión, su control y erradicación son costosos y no siempre posibles. Identificar los invasores potenciales y evitar su establecimiento es el mejor camino para frenar un problema que incrementa al mismo ritmo que la globalización. @es

There are three basic forms: a) water adhering in thin films by molecular attraction to the surface of soil particles and not available for plants is termed hygroscopic water. b) Water forming thicker films and occupying the smaller pore spaces is termed capillary water. Since it is held against the force of gravity it is permanently available for plant growth and it is this type of soil water which contains plant nutrients in solution. c) Water in excess of hygroscopic and capillary water is termed gravitational water, which is of a transitory nature because it flows away under the influence of gravity. When the excess has drained away the amount of water retained in the soil is termed its field capacity, when some of its pore spaces are still free of water.

Environmental factors such as climate, disease, competition from other organisms, and availability of certain types of food will lead to the preferential survival and reproduction of those members of a popu­lation genetically best ﬁtted to deal with them. Continued selection will therefore lead to certain genes becoming more common in subsequent generations. Such selection, operating over very long periods of time is believed to be able to give rise to the considerable differences now seen between different organisms.

definition: Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is a chemical compound with the formula N2O. It is an oxide of nitrogen. At room temperature, it is a colourless, non-flammable gas, with a slightly sweet odour and taste. It is used in surgery and dentistry for its anaesthetic and analgesic effects. It is known as \"laughing gas\" due to the euphoric effects of inhaling it, a property that has led to its recreational use as a dissociative anaesthetic. It is also used as an oxidizer in rocketry and in motor racing to increase the power output of engines. At elevated temperatures, nitrous oxide is a powerful oxidizer similar to molecular oxygen.

However, it has wide industrial applications. It has been used for decades in metal plating to prevent corrosion, in rechargeable batteries and as a pigment in certain plastics and paints. Special care is taken in the industrial smelting of ores and subsequent handling of cadmium, because occupational exposure is known to have caused heart, chest and kidney disorders. Environmental health problems have come from exposure to various sources of pollution.

definition: [GEMET] Essential nutrient of the food supply of plants and the diets of animals. Animals obtain it in nitrogen-containing compounds, particularly aminoacids. Although the atmosphere is nearly 80% gaseous nitrogen, very few organisms have the ability to use it in this form. The higher plants normally obtain it from the soil after microorganisms have converted the nitrogen into ammonia or nitrates, which they can then absorb. This conversion of nitrogen, known as nitrogen fixation, is essential for the formation of amino acids which, in turn, are the building blocks of proteins.

definition: [Henderson's] n. any of a class of compounds of the general formula RCH(NH2)COOH (α-amino acids) where R is a distinctive side chain. Side chains vary from the sin­gle hydrogen atom of glycine to the aro­matic side chains of tryptophan and phenylalanine and the sulphur-containing side chains of cysteine and methionine. Proteins are composed of amino acids covalently linked together through their amino and carboxyl groups into a polypeptide chain with the side chains pro­jecting from the covalently linked back­bone. Amino acids can occur as optically active d- and l-isomers, of which only l-isomers are found in proteins. Around 20 different amino acids are present in proteins, all of which can be synthesized by autotrophs but which in heterotrophs are chieﬂy obtained by breakdown of dietary protein. Amino acids are also biosynthetic precursors of many important molecules such as purines, pyrimidines, histamine, thyroxine, adrenaline, melanin, serotonin, the nicotinamide ring and porphyrins among others. see Fig. 4 and individual entries for each amino acid.

turbidity
creator: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2195-3997
broader: observable property
definition: [HUPSON] Turbidity is the cloudiness or haziness of a fluid caused by individual particles (suspended solids) that are generally invisible to the naked eye, similar to smoke in air. The measurement of turbidity is a key test of water quality. Fluids can contain suspended solid matter consisting of particles of many different sizes. While some suspended material will be large enough and heavy enough to settle rapidly to the bottom of the container if a liquid sample is left to stand (the settable solids), very small particles will settle only very slowly or not at all if the sample is regularly agitated or the particles are colloidal. These small solid particles cause the liquid to appear turbid. Turbidity (or haze) is also applied to transparent solids such as glass or plastic. In plastic production haze is defined as the percentage of light that is deflected more than 2.5 deg from the incoming light direction.[1] source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbidity

(φυσική) ιλύς
broader: soil
definition: [ ENM ][ ECSO ] Silt is granular material of a size somewhere between sand and clay whose mineral origin is quartz and feldspar. Wikipedia: In the Udden-Wentworth scale (due to Krumbein), silt particles range between 0.0039 to 0.0625 mm, larger than clay but smaller than sand particles. ISO 14688 grades silts between 0.002 mm and 0.063 mm. In actuality, silt is chemically distinct from clay, and unlike clay, grains of silt are approximately the same size in all dimensions; furthermore, their size ranges overlap. Clays are formed from thin plate-shaped particles held together by electrostatic forces, so present a cohesion. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil Texture Classification system, the sand-silt distinction is made at the 0.05 mm particle size. The USDA system has been adopted by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). In the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) and the AASHTO Soil Classification system, the sand-silt distinction is made at the 0.075 mm particle size (i.e., material passing the #200 sieve). Silts and clays are distinguished mechanically by their plasticity.

Savanna
broader: grassland
definition: [SWEET] A savanna or savannah is a tropical or subtropical woodland ecosystem. Savannas are characterised by the trees being sufficiently small or widely spaced so that the canopy does not close. It is often believed that savannas are characterized by widely spaced, scattered trees, however in many savanna communities tree densities are higher and trees are more regularly spaced than in forest communities. The open canopy allows sufficient light to reach the ground to support an unbroken herbaceous layer consisting primarily of C4 grasses. Savannas are also characterised by seasonal water availability, with the majority of rainfall being confined to one season of the year. Savannas can be associated with several types of biomes. Savannas are frequently seen as a transitional zone, occurring between forest regions and desert regions.

Given the status of the ongoing Holocene extinction event, streams play an important corridor role in connecting fragmented habitats and thus in conserving biodiversity. Stream is also an umbrella term used in the scientific community for all flowing natural waters, regardless of size.

organic nitrogen
modified: 2019-06-12
broader: http://vocabs.lter-europe.net/EnvThes/20748
definition: [GEMET] Essential nutrient of the food supply of plants and the diets of animals. Animals obtain it in nitrogen-containing compounds, particularly aminoacids. Although the atmosphere is nearly 80% gaseous nitrogen, very few organisms have the ability to use it in this form. The higher plants normally obtain it from the soil after microorganisms have converted the nitrogen into ammonia or nitrates, which they can then absorb. This conversion of nitrogen, known as nitrogen fixation, is essential for the formation of amino acids which, in turn, are the building blocks of proteins.

alternative label: Cl
broader: http://vocabs.lter-europe.net/EnvThes/20748
definition: [GEMET] A very reactive and highly toxic green, gaseous element, belonging to the halogen family of substances. It is one of the most widespread elements, as it occurs naturally in sea-water, salt lakes and underground deposits, but usually occurs in a safe form as common salt (NaCl). Commercially it is used in large quantities by the chemical industry both as an element to produce chlorinated organic solvents, like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and for the manufacture of polyvinyl chloride plastics, thermoplastic and hypochlorite bleaches. Chlorine was the basis for the organochlorine pesticides, like DDT and other agricultural chemicals that have killed wildlife. The reactivity of chlorine has proved disastrous for the ozone layer and has been the cause of the creation of the ozone hole, which was first detected in the Southern Hemisphere over Antarctica and then over the Northern Hemisphere.

Although the algae grow quickly they soon die because they have swallowed up all the water's nutrients. As they decompose they tend to rise to the surface and form a green slime. Algal bloom have increased because higher levels of nitrogen and phosphates from agricultural areas have leached from the fields into water courses.

broader: deprecated concept
definition: [GEMET] A type of pollution which washes out of the atmosphere as dilute sulphuric and nitric acids. It tends to be a regional rather than a global phenomenon, linked to particular industrial activities and meteorological conditions. It includes rain, more than normally acidic snow, mist, sleet, fog, gas and dry particles. It upsets the balance of nature, disrupting ecosystems, and destroys forests and woodlands, plants and crops; kills aquatic life by altering the chemical balance of lakes and rivers and corrodes building materials and fabrics. The pollutants are caused principally by discharges from power station chimneys of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides released by burning fossil fuels, coal and oil.

mutation

The changes are due to alterations in, or non-production of, proteins (or RNAs) speciﬁed by the altered DNA. Mutations occurring in body cells of multicellular organisms are called somatic mutations and are only passed on to the immediate descendants of those cells. Mutations occurring in germline cells can be inherited by the offspring. Mutations can occur spontane­ously as a result of errors in normal cell processes, e.g. DNA replication, or can be induced by certain chemicals or radia­tion. Alterations in DNA that do not cause any phenotypic change are also sometimes called mutations (silent muta­tions or neutral mutations). see also back mutation, base substitution, deletion, frameshift, insertion, neutral mutation, point mutation, translocation, transposition, transversion, revertant, silent mutation, wild type.

The reaction is catalysed by the enzyme nitrogenase. Biological nitrogen ﬁxation is the chief process by which atmospheric nitrogen enters the biosphere and becomes available as a nutrient to other organisms, although industrial nitrogen ﬁxation is now of considerable signiﬁcance. A smaller amount of atmospheric nitrogen is also ﬁxed by conversion into nitrogen oxides by the action of lightning. see also nitrogen cycle.

definition: [Henderson's] n. the phosphate anion PO34– or a salt of phosphoric acid (e.g. potassium phosphate, K3PO4). Phosphates are essen­tial to the metabolism of living organisms because inorganic phosphate is required for the synthesis of the energy-storage molecule ATP. Plants and microorganisms take up phosphorus mainly in the form of phosphates, and various phosphates are used as fertilizers. Excess phosphate washed into streams and lakes contributes to eutrophication and the formation of algal blooms. see also phosphorus cycle, phosphoryl group.

The primary prod­ucts are ATP and NADPH, formed in the presence of light. These are then used in carbohydrate synthesis (the dark reaction). In green plants and algae, photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts; (3) a similar process in other bacteria, but using hydro­gen donors other than water and produc­ing waste products other than oxygen. a. photosynthetic. see also bacterioch­lorophyll, Calvin cycle, chlorophyll, photo­phosphorylation, photosystem I and II, reaction centre.

soil moisture
modified: 2019-06-12

broader: substance
definition: [GEMET] 1) Water stored in soils.2) One of the most important elements involved in pedological processes and plant growth. There are three basic forms: a) water adhering in thin films by molecular attraction to the surface of soil particles and not available for plants is termed hygroscopic water. b) Water forming thicker films and occupying the smaller pore spaces is termed capillary water. Since it is held against the force of gravity it is permanently available for plant growth and it is this type of soil water which contains plant nutrients in solution. c) Water in excess of hygroscopic and capillary water is termed gravitational water, which is of a transitory nature because it flows away under the influence of gravity. When the excess has drained away the amount of water retained in the soil is termed its field capacity, when some of its pore spaces are still free of water.

definition: A tree is a perennial woody plant. It is most often defined as a woody plant that has many secondary branches supported clear of the ground on a single main stem or trunk with clear apical dominance. A minimum height specification at maturity is cited by some authors, varying from 3 m to 6 m; some authors set a minimum of 10 cm trunk diameter (30 cm girth). Woody plants that do not meet these definitions by having multiple stems and/or small size are called shrubs. Compared with most other plants, trees are long-lived, some reaching several thousand years old and growing to up to 115 m (379 ft) high. Trees are an important component of the natural landscape because of their prevention of erosion and the provision of a weather-sheltered ecosystem in and under their foliage. They also play an important role in producing oxygen and reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, as well as moderating ground temperatures. They are also elements in landscaping and agriculture, both for their aesthetic appeal and their orchard crops. Wood from trees is a building material, as well as a primary energy source in many developing countries. Trees also play a role in many of the world's mythologies.
definition: Als Baum wird im allgemeinen Sprachgebrauch eine holzige Pflanze verstanden, die aus einer Wurzel, einem daraus emporsteigenden, hochgewachsenen Stamm und einer belaubten Krone besteht. @de
definition: Con il termine albero si intende una pianta legnosa perenne, capace di svilupparsi in altezza grazie ad un fusto legnoso, detto tronco, che solitamente inizia a ramificarsi a qualche metro dal suolo. L'insieme dei rami e delle foglie determina la chioma che può avere forme diverse a seconda delle specie e delle condizioni ambientali. Gli alberi si distinguono dagli arbusti non per le loro dimensioni ma per la presenza di un tronco nettamente identificabile e privo per un primo tratto di ramificazioni (esistono dei salici - alberi a tutti gli effetti - con portamento strisciante e alti solo pochi centimetri). Questa corretta definizione botanica viene tuttavia a volte disattesa qualora si parli di alberi riferendosi ai loro possibili usi commerciali: in questo caso a volte vengono fissate delle altezza minime per la definizione di albero (es. 5 m di altezza per alcune norme FAO). Il legno degli alberi è una fonte energetica (combustione diretta e carbone di legna) e un materiale da costruzione (intere abitazioni, travature, navi, mobili, oggetti d'uso comune ed artistici). Sempre dagli alberi, spesso coltivati allo scopo, si ricava cellulosa per la produzione della carta. @it
definition: Denna artikel handlar om de växter som kallas träd, för träd i annan betydelse se träd (graf) och träd (datastruktur). Träd är en mångårig växt som är bunden till ståndort och består av ved. Ett träd kan ha en eller flera stammar som bär upp kronan. Veden ger träden egenskapen att bli mycket gamla och stora. Veden består av cellulosa och lignin, som är en form av limsubstans. 'Ett träd är en ettårig växt på ett åldrande skelett. ' (Holländsk definition av träd) Träd är större än buskar, som också har förvedad stam. Botaniskt finns inte någon entydigt fastslagen gräns mellan träd och buskar. Vissa trädslag uppträder både som träd och buske beroende på växtförhållandena. Enligt Nationalencyklopedin anses att ett träd ska kunna nå en höjd av minst fem meter, vilket dock många buskar också kan göra. Vissa arter som platsar både som buske och som träd benämns ibland buskträd. Benämningen träd används både på barrträd, som är större medlemmar av gruppen barrväxter (ordningen Coniferales), och på lövträd, som är (med undantag för Gingko) större medlemmar i gruppen gömfröväxter (underdivisionen Angiospermae), även kallade blomväxter. Barrträd är en evolutionärt sett betydligt äldre grupp, och lövträden är trots sin storlek betydligt närmare släkt med gräs och vanliga prydnadsblommor än vad de är med barrträd. Ett träd består av rötter, stam, grenar, kvistar och löv eller barr. Formen på träd kan variera och man skiljer på palmtyp, ektyp och grantyp. Inom skogsbruket övergår en planta till att vara ett träd när den uppnått brösthöjd (1,3 meter); det är också vid den höjden stamomkretsen normalt mäts. Med sly avses unga träd, oftast lövträd, utan ekonomiskt värde för skogsbruket. Inom plantskolenäringen mäts ett träds stamomfång (stamomkrets) en meter från marken. Den minsta storleken till försäljning brukar vara 6–8 cm i stamomfång, och den största ca 60–70 cm. Det är dock endast specialiserade plantskolor som kan leverera så stora träd. Träd som är mindre än 6–8 cm i stamom… @sv
definition: Drzewa – grupa roślin, do której zaliczają się największe rośliny lądowe. Grupa ta nie jest taksonem – grupuje tylko organizmy roślinne podobne morfologicznie i funkcjonalnie. Drzewa są roślinami wieloletnimi o zdrewniałych łodygach (i zwykle też korzeniach). Od innych roślin drzewiastych różnią się posiadaniem łodygi głównej rozgałęziającej się dopiero od pewnej wysokości. Liczne rozgałęzienia wraz z listowiem tworzą koronę drzewa. Do drzew zalicza się niekiedy rośliny posiadające kłodzinę zamiast pnia zakończoną pękiem liści tj. paprocie drzewiaste, sagowcowe, palmy, pandany, juki i draceny. Bardziej zawężone definicje wyłączają wieloletnie rośliny o zdrewniałych łodygach, które nie posiadają zdolności przyrostu na grubość i nie tworzą korony ze zdrewniałych rozgałęzień łodygi. Dział botaniki zajmujący się drzewami to dendrologia (gr. δένδρον – drzewo). W Polsce kilkadziesiąt tysięcy najstarszych i najbardziej okazałych drzew podlega ochronie prawnej jako pomniki przyrody. @pl
definition: Fichier:Jacaranda trees in Montagu Ave, Harare, Zimbabwe in 1975. jpg Les arbres actuels sont principalement représentés par des espèces du groupe des plantes à fleurs comme ces jacarandas au Zimbabwe. Fichier:Fagus sylvatica seed 001. jpg Même les arbres les plus majestueux débutent leur existence sous forme de modestes plantules, comme celles-ci de hêtre (Fagus sylvatica). Fichier:Artocarpus altilis. jpg Les arbres contribuent significativement au bien-être et à la subsistance des sociétés humaines. De nombreuses espèces produisent des fruits comestibles, comme ici l'arbre à pain (Artocarpus altilis). Un arbre est une plante terrestre capable de se développer par elle-même en hauteur, en général au delà de sept mètres. Les arbres acquièrent une structure rigide composée d'un tronc qui peut éventuellement se ramifier en formant des branches. Les arbres sont des plantes pérennes qui vivent plusieurs années, le plus souvent plusieurs décennies, ou même plusieurs siècles. @fr
definition: Puu on suurikokoinen monivuotinen puuvartinen kasvi, jolla on yleensä yksi hallitseva varsi. Pienemmät puuvartiset kasvit, joilla on useita varsia ovat pensaita tai varpuja. Joskus rajanveto voi olla vaikeaa, koska pensailla ja varvuilla on puumaisia piirteitä. Puista muodostuneet metsät peittävät kolmanneksen maapallon maapinta-alasta. Maapallon metsissä on noin 45 000 eri puulajia, valtaosaltaan lehtipuita. Puulajitiede tunnetaan termillä dendrologia. Puuaines on jällestä sisäänpäin kasvavaa solukkoa. Puutavara on puusta, erityisesti puun rungosta, saatavan puuaineen yleisnimitys raaka-aineena ja kaupallisena tuotteena. Puut eivät muodosta taksonomisesti yhtenäistä ryhmää. Samaankin kasviheimoon, esimerkiksi ruusukasveihin, saattaa kuulua sekä puita että ruohomaisia kasveja. On kuitenkin myös heimoja, joiden kaikki lajit ovat puita tai pensaita, esimerkiksi koivukasvit, samoin kaikki paljassiemeniset kasvit, joista tärkeimpiä ovat havupuut. @fi
definition: Trær er vanligvis høyreiste planter, ofte med en stamme med greiner, men de kan ha flere stammer. Greiner og stamme består av langstrakte celler bygd opp av cellulose som er kittet sammen med lignin. Dette gjør veden hard og stabil. I tillegg inneholder veden i mange treslag kvae for å beskytte mot sopp og insektangrep. Trær er større enn busker, men noen entydig grense mellom trær og busker er ikke klart definert. Enkelte treslag opptrer både som tre og busk avhengig av vekstforholdene. Ifølge det svenske Nationalencyklopedin skal et tre kunne nå en minimumshøyde på fem meter, noe også mange busker gjør. Trær kan bli over 100 meter høye og tidvis bli over 1000 år gamle. Her i Norge kan gran bli 50 m høy og eik kan bli 1000 år gammel. Normalt dør trærne lenge før de når slik høyde og alder. De vanligste årsakene til at trær dør er soppangrep, insektangrep og stormfelling. @no
definition: Un árbol es una planta perenne, de tallo leñoso, que se ramifica a cierta altura del suelo. El término hace referencia habitualmente a aquellas plantas cuya altura supera un determinado límite, diferente según las fuentes, 2 metros, 3 metros, 5 metros o los 6 m en su madurez. Además, producen ramas secundarias nuevas cada año que parten de un único fuste o tronco, con claro dominio apical, dando lugar a una nueva copa separada del suelo. Algunos autores establecen un mínimo de 10 cm de diámetro en el tronco (30 cm de circunferencia). Las plantas leñosas que no reúnen estas características por tener varios troncos, o son de pequeño tamaño, se consideran arbustos. Los árboles presentan una mayor longevidad que otros tipos de plantas. Ciertas especies de árboles pueden superar los 100 m de altura, y llegar a vivir durante miles de años. Los árboles son un importante componente del paisaje natural debido a que previenen la erosión y proporcionan un ecosistema protegido de las inclemencias del tiempo en su follaje y por debajo de él. También desempeñan un papel importante a la hora de producir oxígeno y reducir el dióxido de carbono en la atmósfera, así como moderar las temperaturas en el suelo. También, son elementos en el paisajismo y la agricultura, tanto por su atractivo aspecto como por su producción de frutos en huerto de frutales como el manzano. La madera de los árboles es un material de construcción, así como una fuente de energía primaria en muchos países en vías de desarrollo. Los árboles desempeñan también un importante papel en muchas mitologías del mundo. @es
definition: Árvore é uma planta permanentemente lenhosa de grande porte. Por grande porte, embora não exista uma definição consensual, costuma-se entender uma altura mínima de seis metros na maturidade. As árvores têm ramos secundários, o que as distingue das palmeiras, portanto apenas as gimnospermas e angiospermas dicotiledôneas lenhosas são chamadas árvores. As palmeiras são angiospermas monocotiledôneas. Entre outros atributos, as árvores se caracterizam por ter raiz pivotante, caule lenhoso do tipo tronco, que forma ramos bem acima do nível do solo. Os arbustos, além do menor porte, podem exibir ramos desde junto ao solo. Comparadas com outras formas vegetais, árvores e palmeiras vivem longo tempo. Algumas, como sequóias e jequitibás, vivem milhares de anos. Uma sequóia pode chegar a cem metros de altura. @pt

desertification
broader: biogeochemical process
definition: [Henderson's] n. conversion of semi-arid pastureland and crop land into desert, or the gradual enlargement and encroachment of deserts into formerly marginal arid lands. It is caused by climatic factors such as prolonged drought and by overgrazing and overcultivation.br /br /[GEMET] 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.

aluminum

alternative label: Al
broader: http://vocabs.lter-europe.net/EnvThes/20748
definition: Aluminium (or aluminum) is a chemical element in the boron group with symbol Al and atomic number 13. It is a silvery white, soft, ductile metal. Aluminium is the third most abundant element (after oxygen and silicon), and the most abundant metal, in the Earth's crust (occurs widely in nature in clays). It makes up about 8% by weight of the Earth's solid surface. Aluminium metal is so chemically reactive that native specimens are rare and limited to extreme reducing environments. Instead, it is found combined in over 270 different minerals. Aluminium became implicated as an environmental health hazard in the 1980s on two counts. Biomedical scientists looking for possible causes of Alzheimer's disease, the premature senility indicated by loss of memory and confusion, found a circumstantial link with aluminium. The theory is a controversial one.

The reaction is catalysed by the enzyme nitrogenase. Biological nitrogen ﬁxation is the chief process by which atmospheric nitrogen enters the biosphere and becomes available as a nutrient to other organisms, although industrial nitrogen ﬁxation is now of considerable signiﬁcance. A smaller amount of atmospheric nitrogen is also ﬁxed by conversion into nitrogen oxides by the action of lightning. see also nitrogen cycle.

Weight percent TOC is also used to judge hydrocarbon source rock potential and primary productivity of the overlying water column.

soil salinity

broader: variable
definition: Measurement of the quantity of mineral salts found in a soil. Many semi-arid and arid areas are naturally salty. By definition they are areas of substantial water deficit where evapotranspiration exceeds precipitation. Thus, whereas in humid areas there is sufficient water to percolate through the soil and to leach soluble materials from the soil and the rocks into the rivers and hence into the sea, in deserts this is not the case. Salts therefore tend to accumulate.

sulfur

broader: http://vocabs.lter-europe.net/EnvThes/20748
definition: Sulfur or sulphur (British English; see spelling below) is a chemical element with symbol S and atomic number 16. It is an abundant, multivalent non-metal. Under normal conditions, sulfur atoms form cyclic octatomic molecules with chemical formula S8. Elemental sulfur is a bright yellow crystalline solid when at room temperature. Chemically, sulfur can react as either an oxidant or reducing agent. It oxidizes most metals and several nonmetals, including carbon, which leads to its negative charge in most organosulfur compounds, but it reduces several strong oxidants, such as oxygen and fluorine. Sulfur occurs naturally as the pure element (native sulfur) and as sulfide and sulfate minerals

total phosphorus
broader: variable
definition: The total phosphorus test measures all the forms of phosphorus in the sample (orthophosphate, condensed phosphate, and organic phosphate). This is accomplished by first "digesting" (heating and acidifying) the sample to convert all the other forms to orthophosphate. Then the orthophosphate is measured by the ascorbic acid method. Because the sample is not filtered, the procedure measures both dissolved and suspended orthophosphate.

It is a type of gene bank. The seeds stored may be food crops, or those of rare species to protect biodiversity. The reasons for storing seeds may be varied. In the case of food crops, many useful plants that were developed over centuries are now no longer used for commercial agricultural production and are becoming rare. Storing seeds also guards against catastrophic events like natural disasters, outbreaks of disease, or war. Unlike seed libraries or seed swaps that encourage frequent reuse and sharing of seeds, seedbanks are not typically open to the public.

electric conductivity
deprecated: true
broader: deprecated concept
definition: n. or specific conductance is the reciprocal of electrical resistivity, and measures a material's ability to conduct an electric current. It is commonly represented by the Greek letter σ (sigma), but κ (kappa) (especially in electrical engineering) or γ (gamma) are also occasionally used. Its SI unit is siemens per metre (S⋅m−1) and CGSE unit is reciprocal second (s−1).

definition: [JUAN L. CELIS-DIEZ] Seed size is a life history attribute that affects the probability of seed predation, and therefore\r\n affects plant fitness. Compared with smaller seeds, those with large size should be more attractive\r\n to predators, as they constitute a more profitable food item because of higher energetic and/or\r\n nutrient content. However, predator preferences may be frequency-dependent in the sense that they\r\n may be modulated by the relative abundance of alternative seeds of different sizes... , "[Britta Kerstin Kunz] Seed size is an important plant fitness trait that can influence several steps between fruiting and\r\n the establishment of a plant’s offspring. Seed size varies considerably within many plant species,\r\n yet the relevance of the trait for intra-specific fruit choice by primates has received little\r\n attention. Primates may select certain seed sizes within a species for a number of reasons, e.g. to\r\n decrease indigestible seed load or increase pulp intake per fruit...

definition: [Mikiya Hiroki] Organic matter decomposition is an important ecological function in tidal flat ecosystems, and\r\n extracellular hydrolytic enzyme activities can be used as indices of this process. In this study,\r\n the spatial and temporal variations of enzyme activities were determined to establish easily\r\n measured variables that could be used to assess wetland functions. Seven sampling sites belonging to\r\n the hydrogeomorphic subclasses estuary, foreshore, and lagoon were selected in the intertidal zone\r\n of the Obitsu River Delta and the Banzu Tidal Flat in Tokyo Bay, Japan...

definition: [wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biome] Biomes are climatically and geographically defined as contiguous areas with similar climatic conditions on the Earth, such as communities of plants, animals, soil organisms,[1] and viruses[2] and are often referred to as ecosystems. Some parts of the earth have more or less the same kind of abiotic and biotic factors spread over a large area, creating a typical ecosystem over that area. Such major ecosystems are termed as biomes. Biomes are defined by factors such as plant structures (such as trees, shrubs, and grasses), leaf types (such as broadleaf and needleleaf), plant spacing (forest, woodland, savanna), and climate. Unlike ecozones, biomes are not defined by genetic, taxonomic, or historical similarities. Biomes are often identified with particular patterns of ecological succession and climax vegetation (quasiequilibrium state of the local ecosystem). An ecosystem has many biotopes and a biome is a major habitat type. A major habitat type, however, is a compromise, as it has an intrinsic inhomogeneity.

variable
creator: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2195-3997
alternative label: parameter
definition: In EnvThes a variable is defined aligned to the I-ADOPT Framework. It is a compound concept built by a property for an object of interest. For example, temperature (property) of air (the object of interest) results in the compound concept air temperature. As temperature can be measured in different media (e.g. water, soil, air), it is necessary to use compound concepts.

definition: A river is a natural watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, a lake, a sea, or another river. Small rivers may be called by several other names, including stream, creek, brook, rivulet, and rill. A lake is a body of relatively still water of considerable size, localized in a basin, that is surrounded by land apart from a river, stream, or other form of moving water that serves to feed or drain the lake. Lakes are inland and not part of the ocean and therefore are distinct from lagoons, and are larger and deeper than ponds. Lakes can be contrasted with rivers or streams, which are usually flowing.

aluminum

alternative label: Al
broader: deprecated concept
definition: Aluminium (or aluminum) is a chemical element in the boron group with symbol Al and atomic number 13. It is a silvery white, soft, ductile metal. Aluminium is the third most abundant element (after oxygen and silicon), and the most abundant metal, in the Earth's crust (occurs widely in nature in clays). It makes up about 8% by weight of the Earth's solid surface. Aluminium metal is so chemically reactive that native specimens are rare and limited to extreme reducing environments. Instead, it is found combined in over 270 different minerals. Aluminium became implicated as an environmental health hazard in the 1980s on two counts. Biomedical scientists looking for possible causes of Alzheimer's disease, the premature senility indicated by loss of memory and confusion, found a circumstantial link with aluminium. The theory is a controversial one.
