development Explanation: See the link for multiple pairings. It also appears in that "Norsk Rødliste" that I informed you of previously. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2011-06-30 15:50:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- See this from the link at pages 7-8: "Spredt nedbygging er all bygging utenfor tettstedsgrensen definert av SSB. Det er en begrenset del av nedbyggingen vi ser på. Nedbygging er i denne rapporten det jordbruksareal som bygningers grunnflate dekker. Nedbygging kan imidlertid innbefatte også arealendringer i forbindelse med parkering, gårdsplass, atkomst- veier osv. Nedbygging skjer også som en følge av anlegg og infra- strukturtiltak. " When I worked in land conservation, we referred generally to "development" as the process of converting land currently used for agriculture and/or natural lands to use for siting structures. That's what is at issue in the linked report, and I think it's what you have in your source as well? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2011-06-30 15:53:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- From "Norsk rødliste for arter 2010" at 294: "De fleste av disse arter lever i strandsonen, og her har den negative utviklingen med økt nedbygging fortsatt." "Most of them live in the shore zone, where the negative trend of development is still increasing." Reference: http://www.nibr.no/uploads/publications/dbba2779912d7c721a96... |

land degradation or land-use degradation Explanation: You get a number of hits on both variations. It is also mentioned as "land cover change" but, as you mention in your note to Charles, that fails to cover the "ned" part of "nedbygging" which indicates a trend from more preferred to less preferred usage. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2011-06-30 18:06:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- You could also use "have been subject to" in your translation to get the sentences to flow.
