摘要: Abstract Because of the open-access nature environment we consider an ad hoc adjustment people's environmental footprint to quality environment. The is motivated by concern, but hindered skepticism about announced changes in state Changes affect Earth's carrying capacity. By expanding Lotka–Volterra predator–prey model include these features show that, despite skepticism, does not deteriorate a which humans cannot exist. We also that ideal case no interplay between non-optimally changing concerns and capacity leads world's human population unique interior steady along oscillating course. These results require further technological, social or international progress.
