Glossary
Climate change: Significant, long-lasting change to the Earth’s climate and weather patterns.
For this game, we are specifically focusing on change that has been influenced by human
activity.
Denitrification: The loss or removal of nitrogen and nitrogen compounds.
Drainage network: A connected system of streams, creeks, and rivers, which carry water away
from a specific area.
Economic benefit: Something that acts in favor of material gain for a party.
Ecoregion: A major ecosystem defined by distinctive geography and receiving uniform solar
radiation and moisture.
Ecosystem: the complex of a community of organisms and its environment functioning as an
ecological unit.
Environmental cost: Something that acts to the detriment of the environment.
Nitrogen: A colorless, odorless, inert, gaseous element. Number 7 on the periodic table.
Nitrogen Deposition: The process of nitrogen in soil being picked up by moving water.
Pollution: The presence in or introduction into the environment of harmful or poisonous
substances, light, organic waste, etc.
Precipitation variability: The amount that climate change has affected when water is deposited
into an area.
RPG: Role-playing game. A game in which players are meant to act out a specific purpose
within a given scenario.
Statistical model: A small-scale representation of something (in this case environment)
produced using real world probabilities and information gathered through observation.
Terraforming: The act of moving earth (sand, dirt, rock, etc.) from one place to another in large
enough quantities that the landscape is changed.
Topography: The collective features of a region or location.
Unity framework: A game engine framework based in C languages, especially C#.
Water cycle: A natural process in which water evaporates, enters into the atmosphere, and then
falls again as precipitation.
Watershed: A region or area bounded peripherally by a ridge and draining ultimately to a
particular watercourse or body of water.
Watershed, Dryland: A watershed that primarily services a usually dry area.
Wetland: Land or areas (such as marshes or swamps) that are covered often intermittently with
shallow water or have soil saturated with moisture.
