| animal resource No definition needed | živočíšne zdroje |
| biological resource Wild organisms harvested for subsistence, commerce, or recreation (such as fish, game, timber or furbearers); domesticated organisms raised by agriculture, aquaculture, and silviculture; and ecosystems cropped by livestock | biologické zdroje (biofond) |
| climate resource No definition needed | klimatické zdroje |
| conservation of genetic resources Controlled utilization, protection and development of the gene pool of natural and cultivated organisms to ensure variety and variability and for current and potential value to human welfare | ochrana / zachovanie genetických zdrojov |
| conservation of petroleum resources Controlled utilization, protection and development of exploited and potentially exploitable sources of crude oil to meet current demand and ensure future requirements | ochrana ropných zdrojov |
| 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 | degradácia prírodných zdrojov |
| energy resource Potential supplies of energy which have not yet been used (such as coal lying in the ground, solar heat, wind power, geothermal power, etc.) | energetické zdroje |
| fishery resource No definition needed | zdroje rýb |
| fluvial resource Any source of supply derived from a river, particularly its water, which is collected, stored and treated, then distributed for domestic, industrial, farm and other uses | riečne zdroje |
| forest resource Forest resources consist of two separate but closely related parts: the forest land and the trees (timber) on that land | lesné zdroje |
| forest resource assessment | hodnotenie lesného zdroja |
| freshwater resource The network of rivers, lakes, and other surface waters that supply water for food production and other essential human systems | zdroje sladkej vody |
| 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 | genofond |

| mineral resource | nerastné suroviny (Tuhé, kvapalné a plynné časti zemskej kôry) |
| natural resource A feature or component of the natural environment that is of value in serving human needs, e.g. soil, water, plantlife, wildlife, etc. Some natural resources have an economic value (e.g. timber) while others have a "noneconomic" value (e.g. scenic beauty) | prírodné zdroje |

| non-renewable energy resource | neobnoviteľné zdroje energie |
| non-renewable resource A natural resource which, in terms of human time scales, is contained within the Earth in a fixed quantity and therefore can be used once only in the foreseeable future (although it may be recycled after its first use). This includes the fossil fuels and is extended to include mineral resources and sometimes ground water, although water and many minerals are renewed eventually | neobnoviteľné zdroje |
| plant resource No definition needed | rastlinné zdroje |
| pricing policy of resources The guiding procedure or philosophy for decisions regarding the monetary rate or value of a country or region's resources, including natural resources, human resources and capital, or man-made goods | cenová politika zdrojov |
| renewable resource Resources capable of being continuously renewed or replaced through such processes as organic reproduction and cultivation such as those practiced in agriculture, animal husbandry, forestry and fisheries | obnoviteľné zdroje |
| resource appraisal Assessment of the availability of resources in a given area | ocenenie zdrojov |
| resource conservation Reduction of overall resource consumption and utilization of recovered resources in order to avoid waste | ochrana zdrojov |

| resource efficiency | efektívne využívanie zdrojov |
| resource exploitation No definition needed | využívanie zdrojov |
| resource reserve No definition needed | zásoby zdrojov |
| resource utilisation No definition needed | využitie zdrojov |
| resources management A conscious process of decision-making whereby natural and cultural resources are allocated over time and space to optimize the attainment of stated objectives of a society, within the framework of its technology, political and social institutions, and legal and administrative arrangements. An important objective is the conservation of resources, implying a close and integrated relationship between the ecological basis and the socio-economic system | hospodárenie so zdrojmi |
