Natural resource managementNatural resource management (NRM) is the management of natural resources such as land, water, soil, plants and animals, with a particular focus on how management affects the quality of life for both present and future generations (stewardship). Natural resource management deals with managing the way in which people and natural landscapes interact. It brings together natural heritage management, land use planning, water management, bio-diversity conservation, and the future sustainability of industries like agriculture, mining, tourism, fisheries and forestry.
Set-builder notationIn set theory and its applications to logic, mathematics, and computer science, set-builder notation is a mathematical notation for describing a set by enumerating its elements, or stating the properties that its members must satisfy. Defining sets by properties is also known as set comprehension, set abstraction or as defining a set's intension. Set (mathematics)#Roster notation A set can be described directly by enumerating all of its elements between curly brackets, as in the following two examples: is the set containing the four numbers 3, 7, 15, and 31, and nothing else.

Ecosystem diversityEcosystem diversity deals with the variations in ecosystems within a geographical location and its overall impact on human existence and the environment. Ecosystem diversity addresses the combined characteristics of biotic properties (biodiversity) and abiotic properties (geodiversity). It is a variation in the ecosystems found in a region or the variation in ecosystems over the whole planet. Ecological diversity includes the variation in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
German dialectsGerman dialects are the various traditional local varieties of the German language. Though varied by region, those of the southern half of Germany beneath the Benrath line are dominated by the geographical spread of the High German consonant shift, and the dialect continuum that connects German to the neighboring varieties of Low Franconian (Dutch) and Frisian. The varieties of German are conventionally grouped into Upper German, Central German and Low German; Upper and Central German form the High German subgroup.
GermanistiqueLa germanistique (Germanistik) consiste principalement en l'étude de la langue et de la littérature allemandes au niveau des études supérieures. Par extension, la discipline (nommée Germanistik en allemand) étudie l'histoire des langues germaniques et des différentes littératures de l'aire germanophone concernées. En France, la germanistique étudie aussi la culture allemande en général. Il faut distinguer la Germanistik telle qu'elle est étudiée en Allemagne et la « germanistique » française.
AllemandLallemand (autonyme : Deutsch, ) est l'une des langues indo-européennes appartenant à la branche famille des langues germaniques. Du fait de ses nombreux dialectes, l'allemand constitue dans une certaine mesure une langue-toit (Dachsprache). Son histoire, en tant que langue distincte des autres langues germaniques occidentales, débute au haut Moyen Âge, lors de la seconde mutation consonantique.
Deforestation and climate changeDeforestation is a primary contributor to climate change, and climate change affects forests. Land use changes, especially in the form of deforestation, are the second largest anthropogenic source of atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions, after fossil fuel combustion. Greenhouse gases are emitted during combustion of forest biomass and decomposition of remaining plant material and soil carbon. Global models and national greenhouse gas inventories give similar results for deforestation emissions.
German diasporaThe German diaspora consists of German people and their descendants who live outside of Germany. The term is used in particular to refer to the aspects of migration of German speakers from Central Europe to different countries around the world. This definition describes the "German" term as a sociolinguistic group as opposed to the national one since the emigrant groups came from different regions with diverse cultural practices and different varieties of German.
Allemand standardL'allemand standard (Standardhochdeutsch, Standarddeutsch, Hochdeutsch) est la variété standard de la langue allemande utilisée dans des contextes formels pour la communication entre populations utilisant différents dialectes germaniques. L'orthographe est codifiée officiellement par une organisation internationale, le Conseil pour l'orthographe allemande (Rat für deutsche Rechtschreibung). La prononciation est codifiée officieusement dans des manuels. L'allemand standard sert de langue véhiculaire suprarégionale.
