biocapacity The potential productivity of the biologically productive space within a specified country, region, or territory. biologically productive space Areas of land and water capable of supporting photosynthesis at sufficient rates to provide economically useful concentrations of biomass. Marginal and unproductive regions, such as deserts, tundra, and the deep oceans, are excluded. The glo...

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...

The heuristic value of the ecological footprint (EF) conceptual device has met with considerable political and civic buy-in at national, regional and local levels.

This paper examines the emerging opportunities for advanced footprinting approaches w...

This study examines the impact of diaspora income on ecological footprint 22 countries African countries. Methodologically, we used Driscoll-Kraay (1998) fixed-effect model, fixed effect instrumental variable regression, Machado and Silva (2019) panel quantile Dumitrescu Hurlin (2012) causality test. There are four main important findings from this empirical study: (1) has a negative statistica...
