 ABSTRACT

The English-Spanish/Spanish-English equivalent translations of scientific and management terms

(jargon) commonly used in the field of natural resource management are presented. The glossary is useful
in improving communications and fostering understanding between Spanish- and English-speaking persons.

Key Words: Bilingual glossary, animal names, botany, fishery, forestry, range, soils, wildlife

 FOREWORD
Recent symposia, such as Wildlife and Range
Research Needs in Northern Mexico and
Southwestern United States--1981, and Management
and Utilization of Arid Land Plants - 1985,
sponsored by the National Institute of Forestry
Research of the Subsecretariat of Forestry and
Wildlife, Secretariat of Agriculture and Water
Resources of Mexico and the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Forest Service have made valuable
contributions to the exchange of scientific and
technical information regarding management of
natural resources. These symposia were part of a
continuing agreement between respective agencies
to enhance professional capabilities through
technology transfer activities. A receptive
atmosphere of cooperation has resulted from such
activities for the mutual benefit of Mexican and
American scientists.
Despite individual efforts to understand and
communicate the relevance of these symposia, the
language barrier often precludes an effective
interchange of ideas. In addition, the
specialized meanings of scientific jargon are
lost when translated into terms with socialogical
connotation. Quite often a given term may have
different meanings to a forester, soil scientist
or wildlife manager. In order for a listener to
receive a clear understanding of the
problem being discussed, the translator needs to
be familiar with the scientific terminology
relevant to the specialized topics.
The purpose of this glossary is to present
to translators, scientists, resource managers,
administrators and others the Spanish-English
equivalent translations of scientific and
ii
management terms commonly used in the disciplines
of forestry, range management, wildlife
management, fisheries, soils and botany. Terms
were selected on the basis of common usage and
difficulty of translation from various scientific
and technical articles which appeared in
professional journals, such as Journal of
Wildlife Management, Forest Science, Soil
Science, Journal of Range Management, Ecology,
Ciencia Forestal, and others. Scientific terms
are introduced into common usage every time new
concepts are formulated, and as such an update of
new terminology is needed periodically. While no
attempt is made to cover the entire scope of
scientific terminology of the respective
disciplines, it is anticipated that this glossary
will be useful in improving communications and
foster understanding between Spanish- and
English-speaking persons as well as to serve as a
starting point for developing a common
understanding of technical terms.
The glossary is composed of two sections.
Section one contains the English to Spanish
translations, and section two the Spanish to
English. Each section is divided into seven
subsections, each of which is devoted to terms
used within a particular discipline. The text is
arranged alphabetically within sections beginning
with the English or Spanish keyword, followed by
the equivalent translation.
It is understood that some persons may
disagree with some terms due to their usage of
other similar jargon, but at least they will be
aware of its use in other regions and
disciplines.
 PRO LOGO
Reciente simposios (Reunion Sobre La Fauna y
Su Medio Arnbiente, Noroeste de Mexico y Suroeste
Estados Unidos de America 1981; Reuni6n Sobre
Manejo y Utilizaci6n de las Plantas de Zonas
Aridas 1985) auspiciado por la Subsecretaria
Forestal y de la Fauna, y el Instituto Nacional
de Investigaciones Forestales de Mexico, y el
Departamento de Agricultura, Servicio Forestal de
los Estados Unidos han hecho unas contribuciones
valiosos al intercambio de inf ormaci6n cientif ica
y tecnica sobre el manejo de recursos naturales.
Estos simposios fueron parte de un acuerdo que
continua entre las respectivas agencias para
aumentar las capacidades prof esionales mediante
actividades de transferencia de tecnologia. Un
ambiente muy receptive de cooperaci6n ha
resultado de tales actividades para el benef icio
mutuo de cientfficos mexicanos y americanos.
Aparte de esfuerzos individuales para
entender y comunicar la pertinencia de estos
simposios, la barrera del lenguaje frecuentemente
impide un intercambio efectivo de ideas. Ademas,
los sentidos especializados de la jerga
cientif ica se pierden cuando son traducidos a
terminos con connotaci6nes sociol6gicos. Muy
seguido, un termino puede tener diferente
sentidos para el silvicultor, el cientifico de
suelos, o el manejador de fauna silvestre. En
orden para que un escuchante pueda recibir un
claro entendimiento del problema que se discute,
el traductor tiene que estar familiarizado con la
terminologia cientifica pertinente a los asuntos
especializados.
El proposito de este glosario es de
presentar a traductores, cientificos, manejadores
de recursos, administradores y otros interesados,
las traducciones equivalente en espaftol-ingles de
terminos comunes, cientificos y de manejo, que se
iii
usan en las disciplinas de forestales, manejo de
pastizales, manejo de fauna silvestre, pesqueria,
suelos y botanfca. Los terminos fueron
seleccionados en base al uso comun y dif icultad
de traducci6n, de varios articulos cientificos y
tecnicos que aparecieron en revistas
profesionales, como Revista de Manejo de Fauna
Silvestre, Ciencia Forestal (Mexicana y
Americana), Ciencia de Suelos, Revista de Manejo
de Pastizales, Ecologia y otros. Terminos
cientif icos son introducidos al uso comun cada
vez que conceptos nuevos son formulados, por lo
que se requiere poner al dia los terminos nuevos
peri6dicamente. Cuando ningun intento se hace de
cubrir totalmente la esfera de terminologia
cientifica de las respectivas disciplinas, es
anticipado que este glosario sea util para
aumentar las comunicaciones y animar
entendimientos entre personas de lengua espaftol
y ingles y tambien servir como un punto de
partida para el desarrollo de un entendimiento de
terminos tecnicos.
El glosario contiene dos secciones. La
primera secci6n contiene las traducciones de
ingles al espaftol, y la segunda secci6n de
espaftol al ingles. Cada secci6n es dividida
entre siete subsecciones, cada cual se dedica a
terminos que se usan dentro la disciplina
particular. El texto esta arreglado
alfabeticamente entre las secciones, comenzando
con la palabra clave en ingles o espanol, y
seguida por la traducci6n equivalente.
Se entiende que algunas personas pudieran
no estar de acuerdo con algunos terminos debido a
su propia utilizaci6n de jerga similar, pero al
menos estaran concientes de su utilizaci6n en
otras regiones y disciplinas.

Rocky Mountain Forest and

Range Experiment Station

The Rocky Mountain Station is one of eight

regional experiment stations, plus the Forest
Rocky Products Laboratory and the Washington Office
Mountains Staff, that make up the Forest Service research..
organization.

RESEARCH FOCUS

Research programs at the Rocky Mountain

Station are coordinated with area universities and
with other institutions. Many studies are
conducted on a cooperative basis to accelerate
solutions to problems involving range. water,
wildlife and fish habitat. human and commw1ity
development. timber. recreation. protection. and
multiresource evaluation.
