Modelling effects of industrialization, population and pollution on a renewable resource

چکیده
In this paper, a mathematical model is proposed and analysed to study the simultaneous effect of industrialization, population and pollution on the depletion of a renewable resource. Criteria for local stability, global stability and instability are obtained. It is shown that if the densities of industrialization, population and pollution increase, then the density of the resource biomass decreases and it settles down at its equilibrium level whose magnitude is lower than its original carrying capacity. It is further noted that if these factors increase unabatedly, the resource biomass may be driven to extinction. Computer simulations are also performed to illustrate the results. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Modelling the depletion of forestry resources by population and population pressure augmented industrialization
In this paper, a nonlinear mathematical model is proposed and analysed to study the depletion of forestry resources caused by population and population pressure augmented industrialization. It is shown that the equilibrium density of resource biomass decreases as the equilibrium densities of population and industrialization increase. It is found that even if the growth of population (whether in...
متن کاملCost and Environmental Pollution Reduction Based on Scheduling of Power Plants and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles
There has been a global effort to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions. In an electric resource scheduling, emission dispatch and load economic dispatch problems should be considered. Using renewable energy resources (RESs), especially wind and solar, can be effective in cutting back emissions associated with power system. Further, the application of electric vehicles (EV) capable of b...

متن کاملAssessing the Effects of Green Tax Policy on CO2 Emission with Emphasis on Renewable Energy Development (Case study of D8 Countries)
In recent years, fossil energy consumption has increased because of economic growth and this has led to carbon dioxide emissions and environmental crises. Governments struggle to solve this problem by appropriate policies such as green or environmental tax policies. This policy is based on costs and can control pollution and increase renewable energy consumption as a substitute for fossil ener...
