| degradation of natural resources The result of the cumulative activities of farmers, households, and industries, all trying to improve their socio-economic well being. These activities tend to be counterproductive for several reasons. People may not completely understand the long-term consequences of their activities on the natural resource base. The most important ways in which human activity is interfering with the global ecosystem are: 1. fossil fuel burning which may double the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration by the middle of the next century, as well as further increasing the emissions of sulphur and nitrogen very significantly; 2. expanding agriculture and forestry and the associated use of fertilizers (nitrogen and phosphorous) are significantly altering the natural circulation of these nutrients; 3. increased exploitation of the freshwater system both for irrigation in agriculture and industry and for waste disposal | 自然资源恶化 (农民、家庭和产业界为了增加其社会经济利益的各种活动所累积的效应。 许多原因使得这些活动导致不良的后果。 人们可能尚不完全明了这些活动对自然资源基础的长期影响。 人类活动干扰地球生态系统的最重要影响方式有：1.石化燃料燃烧可能在下一世纪中期使大气中二氧化碳浓度加倍，且硫和氮排放也将持续大幅增加；b.农业和林业的扩大，及其相关肥料的使用(氮和磷)将严重改变这些营养素在自然界的循环；c.为了农业灌溉、工业及废弃物弃置的需要，所需增加的淡水系统开发。) |

| genetic resource The gene pool in natural and cultivated stocks of organisms that are available for human exploitation. It is desirable to maintain as diverse a range of organisms as possible, particularly of domesticated cultivars and their ancestors, in order to maintain a wide genetic base. The wider the genetic base, the greater the capacity for adaptation to particular environmental conditions | 遗传资源 (可供人类开发的自然和耕种作物的基因库。为了维持一个广泛的遗传基础库，其中的不同类型的生物越多越好，特别是家养品种和他们的原种。基础库的范围越广，适应特定的环境条件的能力就越大。) |
