degradation

This aids in preventing soil degradation.

The early personages most cited for propounding composting within farming are for the German-speaking world Rudolf Steiner, founder of a farming method called biodynamics, and Annie Francé-Harrar, who was appointed on behalf of the government in Mexico and supported the country 1950 – 1958 to set up a large humus organization in the fight against erosion and soil degradation.

Plant litter and other biomass accumulates as organic matter in soils, and is degraded by chemical weathering and biological degradation.

Steps are being taken not only to preserve the rare fauna, but also to counteract degradation of the environment, especially on densely populated Nzwani.

soil degradation and erosion results from crop cultivation on slopes without proper terracing ; deforestation

This punishment might likewise be simple, or combined with the exclusion from the tribes and the degradation to the rank of an aerarian.

This punishment and the degradation to the rank of an aerarian were originally the same ; but when in the course of time a distinction was made between the rural or rustic tribes and the urban tribes, the motio e tribu transferred a person from the rustic tribes to the less respectable city tribes, and if the further degradation to the rank of an aerarian was combined with the motio e tribu, it was always expressly stated.

This degradation, properly speaking, included all the other punishments, for an equestrian could not be made an aerarius unless he was previously deprived of his horse, nor could a member of a rustic tribe be made an aerarius unless he was previously excluded from it.

The degradation of some membrane proteins begins while still at the cell surface when they are separated by secretases.

Although the additives used have made cyanine more stable, it is still the most sensitive of the dyes in UV rays ( showing signs of degradation within a week of direct sunlight exposure ).

Unlike cyanine, phthalocyanine is less resistant to UV rays and CD-Rs based on this dye show signs of degradation only after two weeks of direct sunlight exposure.

However, phthalocyanine is more sensitive than cyanine to writing laser power calibration, meaning that the power level used by the writing laser has to be more accurately adjusted for the disc in order to get a good recording ; this may erode the benefits of dye stability, as marginally written discs ( with higher correctable error rates ) will lose data ( i. e. have uncorrectable errors ) after less dye degradation than well written discs ( with lower correctable error rates ).

Both proteins, Calnexin and calreticulin, have the function of binding to oligosaccharides containing terminal glucose residues, thereby targeting them for degradation.

This leads these aberrantly folded proteins down a path whereby they are targeted for degradation.

* Viewing angle is the maximum angle at which images on the monitor can be viewed, without excessive degradation to the image.

The screen will need frequent cleaning due to image degradation from fingerprints.

Lossy image compression can be used in digital cameras, to increase storage capacities with minimal degradation of picture quality.

The degradation of forest ecosystems has also been traced to economic incentives that make forest conversion appear more profitable than forest conservation.

But recent calculations suggest that carbon dioxide emissions from deforestation and forest degradation ( excluding peatland emissions ) contribute about 12 % of total anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions with a range from 6 to 17 %.< ref > Deforestation causes carbon dioxide to linger in the atmosphere.

Reducing emissions from the tropical deforestation and forest degradation ( REDD ) in developing countries has emerged as new potential to complement ongoing climate policies.

The idea consists in providing financial compensations for the reduction of greenhouse gas ( GHG ) emissions from deforestation and forest degradation ".

Desertification is the degradation of land in any dryland.

This situation is exacerbated by land degradation because of the reduction in productivity, the precariousness of living conditions and the difficulty of access to resources and opportunities.

Routes of loss and degradation include runoff, volatilization, photolysis and aerobic and anaerobic biodegradation.
