Download or read book Glosario Del Banco Mundial written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1996 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.

Download or read book The North American Mosaic written by Commission for Environmental Cooperation (Montréal, Québec). Secretariat and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

It analyses ways and means to facilitate and encourage compliance with the objectives of the Kyoto Protocol. It is addressed to policy-makers, academics, business-sector and stakeholders throughout and outside Europe. Due to its interdisciplinary approach, this work is a distinctive and unique product compared to the existing literature on the subject.

Download or read book Soil Quality for Crop Production and Ecosystem Health written by E.G. Gregorich and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1997-11-10 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soil is a complex body that exists as many types, each with diverse properties that may vary widely across time and space as a function of many factors. This complexity makes the evaluation of soil quality much more challenging than that of water or air quality. Evaluation of soil quality now considers environmental implications as well as economic productivity, seeking to be more holistic in its approach.Thus, soil quality research draws from a wide range of disciplines, blending the approaches of biologists, physicists, chemists, ecologists, economists and agronomists, among others.This book presents a broad perspective of soil quality that includes these various perspectives and gives a strong theoretical basis for the assessment of soil quality.A short glossary provides definitions for terms used throughout the book.

Download or read book Manual t cnico para la interpretaci n de an lisis de suelos y fertilizaci n de cultivos written by Peña Vanegas, Ricardo Alexander and published by Universidad de la Salle. This book was released on 2020-08-13 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El país está enfrentado un tema tan crítico como la apertura económica -tratados recién firmados como el TLC con Estados Unidos- obligan a los gremios del sector productivo a ser más competitivos si quieren continuar en el mercado. Uno de los elementos para mejorar este aspecto es la eficiencia en el uso de los recursos (fertilizantes, riegos, manejo sostenible del medio ambiente, etc.). La toma de decisiones es un paso difícil en cualquier empresa. En la empresa agropecuaria intervienen muchos elementos, componentes y variables que es necesario conocer a la hora de decidir. Como el momento de las decisiones y los resultados están alejados en el tiempo, los problemas se manifiestan cuando suele ser tarde para resolverlos. Así, para tomar buenas decisiones es fundamental una correcta información previa. Un análisis equivocado lleva siempre a un mal resultado; cuando los márgenes de ganancia de la actividad agropecuaria se reducen, el costo del error puede ser crítico. Las buenas decisiones solo pueden ser resultado de un correcto análisis de las variables y esto solo puede hacerse con buena información.

Download or read book An lisis de suelos y plantas y recomendaciones de abonado written by José Alberto Oliveira Prendes and published by Universidad de Oviedo. This book was released on 2006 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El incremento de productividad en la agricultura de los países desarrollados ha ido unido al empleo de fertilizantes. En ocasiones el empleo excesivo de los mismos no sólo ha aumentado la productividad, sino que se ha convertido en un problema para el medio ambiente. Por otro lado, en los países en vías de desarrollo, la falta de fertilización es una de las causas por las que no se llega a niveles aceptables de abastecimiento alimentario. En la actualidad, se trata de pasar de una agricultura productivista a otra más eficaz, con menor empleo de insumos para reducir los costes de producción, que a la vez evite daños en el medio ambiente. Con este libro se pretende mostrar los aspectos más importantes de las técnicas de análisis de suelos y plantas y a partir de los datos obtenidos con ellas establecer recomendaciones de abonado en praderas, céspedes, viveros y cultivos forestales.
