Biocapacity stands for the regenerative capacity of our planet’s ecosystems. The biocapacity metric, therefore, quantifies the renewal rate of ecosystems around the globe. It tracks ecosystem’s inherent ability to renew biomass. This amount then can be compared to the amount of human demand on biocapacity, which is called people’s ecological footprint. Biocapacity accounting allows researchers […]| Global Footprint Network
