Question
1) Find a unique research article via the search Database EBSCOhost(http://libguides.pasadena.edu/c.php?g=126817&p=829696) using PCC's Shatford Library's(http://www.pasadena.edu/library/index.php) service to access information(http://www.pasadena.edu/library/search-collections/off-campus-access.php) off campus. Your UNIQUE peer reviewed research article you found from EBSCOhost should be about how Earth's carrying capacity is calculated, what the projections for the future are, and what cultural or environmental factors impact it, and be no more than 5 years old. Ask a Librarian via phone or chat for help. NO CREDIT FOR REPEAT ARTICLES. THE FIRST POST OF AN ARTICLE ONLY WILL GET CREDIT.
2) Create a new post where you (10 sentences minimum, using college level writing):
-Cite the article.
-Summarize the major research findings in your own words.
-Comment on the research's potential limitations.
Explanation / Answer
Solution :-
1) The selected article is :
HAD THE EARTH REACHED ITS CARRYING CAPACITY
This topic is related to the knowledge of Earth Carrying Capacity and factors affecting the same. Actually the earth carrying capcaity is not a constant number, however it depends upo various factors, and one of the most important factor human hunting mode. If human hunting mode continues than the carrying capacity will be very less and if stops then vice versa will also be true. By their action, if human continuosuly impacts the environment then the day is not far that earth carrying capcity will definitely be ahieved and then may be a very impact on the entire earth.
2) The slected article is realted to above :-
Human Carrying Capacity
The world's population is increasing day by day in a tremendous rate. In this article we will understand the meaning of human carrying capacity, its impact, and factors affecting it. The entire study is summarised in following below mentioned ten capacities:-
1) Human Carrying Capacity is basically the maximum population that can be accomodated by an environment indefinitely.
2) As described above, the world's population growth is rising tremendously and if the hunting behaviour also continued then it is really an important matter to be seriously dealt.
3) If we only consider space as one of the limiting factor, then assuming growth of only 1 % which is now approximately 1.15 %, then the density of population of earth will be exactly equal to the one person per meter square of land in comming 1000 years. So such thing shall be kept in mind to control any factor all around.
4) Regular cultivation is one positive factor which can reduce the risk
5) The other important factor is to reduce the environment example to reduce the pollution etc.
6) The population factor may also lead vital in controlling human carrying capacity.
7) Strict government laws related to hunting, environment norms etc will be strong point for this.
8) For human beings, calculation of human carrying capacity is very complex. Hence it is very important to first have basic understanding of the same.
9) With respect to above, human should consider overall factors such as flora and fauna while calcuating the earth carrying capacity.
10) Last but not least overall study shall be done and necessary preventative measures shall be taken globally.
