Novelties that change carrying capacity.
Comparative developmental studies have revealed a rich array of details about the patterns and processes of morphological change in animals and increasingly in plants. But, applying these insights to the study of major episodes of evolutionary innovation requires understanding how these novel morphologies become established and sufficiently abundant (either as individuals within a species or as...
متن کاملThe impact of land use/cover change on the ecological carrying capacity in Loess Hilly region
Based on the theory of ecological footprint, and as land use/cover change the breakthrough point in Loess hilly area, the ecological carrying capacity analysis method was used to calculate the ecological carrying capacity of Shanghuang experimental area. The results showed that the total ecological carrying capacity in 1982, 2000 and 2010 were 242.47、750.53、929.68 hm. Meanwhile the per capita e...
متن کاملCarrying capacity reconsidered: from Malthus’ population theory to cultural carrying capacity
In this paper the concept of carrying capacity is investigated to provide an improved understanding about its contribution to solve environmental problems. Light is shed on its form, interpretation and application in biology, demography, applied and human ecology. The analysis begins with an examination of the bedrock of carrying capacity which is Malthus’ population theory, and its mathematica...
متن کاملLoad Carrying Capacity of Simply Supported Variable Thickness Circular Plates
The calculation of the load carrying capacity of variable thickness circular plates subjected to arbitrary rotational symmetric loading is presented. The analysis considers plate materials that obey either the square or the Tresca yield criterion. By using upper and lower bound theorems of limit analysis, corresponding estimations for the load carrying capacity of the plate are obtained. It is ...
متن کاملEconomic growth, carrying capacity, and the environment.
Nat iona l and international economic policy has usually ignored the environment. In areas where the environment is beginning to impinge on policy, as in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), it remains a tangential concern, and the presumption is often made that economic growth and economic liberalization (including the liberaliz...
