biocapacity  

Definition

  • The capacity of ecosystems to regenerate what people demand from those surfaces. The biocapacity of a particular surface represents its ability to renew what people demand.

Biocapacity can change from year to year due to climate, management, and also what portions are considered useful inputs to the human economy.
