Poor Steinn, are we have problems understanding?

I suggest that FIRST get yourself a dictionary,
then sit down and spend some time comparing these
two paragraphs:

---------------------------
Jay:
"Carrying capacity is the maximum load that can be exerted on
 a life support system by a population of animals without
 damaging the system itself.  When a population exceeds
 carrying capacity it is known as 'overshoot'."

-------------------------
"Investing in Natural Capital:
                  The Ecological Approach to Sustainability"
     from the International Society for Ecological Economics

CARRYING CAPACITY REVISITED

Ecologists define "carrying capacity" as the population of a
given species that be supported indefinitely in a defined
habitat without permanently damaging the ecosystem upon which
it is dependent.

-----------------------

Does someone pay you to display stupidity on the newsgroups?
If so, you definitely deserve a raise.

Goodby Steinn, I can't waste any more time on your education.

Jay
