Desktop virtualization is software technology that separates the desktop environment and associated application software from the physical client device that is used to access it.
Atmospheric deposition of reduced nitrogen onto nutrient-limited semi-natural vegetation (unimproved grasslands, heathlands, blanket bog) can cause a shift in the balance of species in these sensitive systems because the nitrogen has a nutrient effect on plant growth.
Pollution may muddy landscapes, poison soils and waterways, or kill plants and animals. Humans are also regularly harmed by pollution. Long-term exposure to air pollution, for example, can lead to chronic respiratory disease, lung cancer and other diseases. Toxic chemicals that accumulate in top predators can make some species unsafe to eat.
