Biocapacity refers to the ability of an area's ecosystems to regenerate renewable resources within a given time and absorb related pollution and wastes. It takes into account factors such as available land, water, and other resources, as well as the ability of the ecosystem to process and support these resources. Sustainable management of these resources helps ensure that biocapacity is not exceeded, allowing for long-term ecosystem health and continued access to these resources for future generations.
