The current global ecological footprint of each person is about 2.7 hectares. The Earth presently has 11.4 billion hectares of p

roductive land and water. If we divide this usable area by the global human population of approximately 6 billion, this means:________.

Answer:

This means that there would be an ecological surplus, the allotted footprint of 1.9 hectares per person has been exceeded.

Explanation:

Ecological footprint measures our use and demand of nature and how much nature we have. It measures how much quantity of nature can be used to support people or an economy and it tracks this demand through an ecological accounting system.

Ecological surplus or deficit measures what is left over or how little a country's biocapacity is available. It is calculated by subtracting the country's ecological footprint per person from the country's biocapacity per person. They are both measured in global hectares (gha)

Describe the source of food for the first 3 levels in the food chain and explain why it takes less land, water, air to produce a
Ronch [10]
This question is incomplete as the specific food chain is not provided. In general, a food chain will have a primary producer at the base of the chain. This is an organism that is able to utilise a form of energy to convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to a carbohydrate. For terrestrial food chains, these are typically plants, who by utilising the energy from the sun, are able to convert carbon dioxide to carbohydrates. The subsequent level in the food chain may be a primary consumer, typically herbivores, that consume plant matter. Subsequent links in the chain would typically be secondary consumers, who would be carnivores, omnivores or decomposers. Carnivores would typically be predators and would be at the apex of the food chain. Energy is lost from one link to the subsequent link in the food chain, through basic respiration and inefficient energy transfer from one link to another. This explains why more resources (land, water and air) are required to grow meat rather than plant matter. More of the sun's energy is available within the lower trophic levels in a food chain, before much of it is lost as energy moves up the food chain. An easy example to illustrate this is that much of the livestock raised in the USA is fed grain. If people rather ate the grain than the livestock, they could obtain all their required energy from a smaller amount of grain then would be needed to raise the meat they require.
