2021-05-02 18:00:05 Bio capacity

It is an estimate of ecosystem's:

Production of certain biological materials such as natural resources

Absorption and filtering of other materials such as carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Unit of measurement = Global hectares per person- A function of human population.

Note : Dont confuse this with ecological footprint- As the Ecological Footprint refers to a continuous demand, and biocapacity refers to a continuous supply, both are correctly reported in global hectares- look at the graph- fall in supply but rise in demand.
