Does biocapacity include food resources?[edit]

If the term biocapacity includes food resources, which it makes sense that it would, then whether or not stover can produce alcohol is moot as being edible stover already would be a resource. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.52.225.148 (talk) 20:14, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Added a new section: Applications of Biocapacity[edit]

Hi, I am currently a student enrolled at the University of Toronto Mississauga. I have edited this page as a part of an assignment of the course I am taking: CCT110 - The Rhetoric of Digital and Interactive Media Environments. With the previous content available, I added in references for that information and decided to include a new section "Application of Biocapacity" and tried to steer away from the definition and provide more of an outlook in terms of how biocapacity can be used. I left some previous content the same but majority of it was adjusted to suit the added information. Amanb0 (talk) 03:27, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This article was the subject of an educational assignment in 2014 Q1. Further details were available on the "Education Program:University of Toronto Mississauga/CCT110: The Rhetoric of Digital and Interactive Media Environments (S2014)" page, which is now unavailable on the wiki.

Improving this article, with goal of removing the "Too Technical for non-experts" flag.[edit]

Since this article has been tagged as "Too Technical", I am attempting to clarify it. I have a personal interest in, but I am not an expert on the topic. I am new to editing on Wikipedia, so am still learning the techniques used here. Constructive suggestions are welcome. I started by adding some basic explanatory material to the the opening section, and a few links to the See Also section. I will wait a few days or weeks to see if anyone has comments or objections about this edit.

I hope to add more content and clarification for non-experts in the near future. The entire set of articles relating to Globlal Footprint Network (GFN) could use some clean up. I am studying the literature from GFN. If possible, I'll quote directly from them, although I find their material is often rather difficult to understand as well, so I may have to use my general science knowlege to paraphrase. First on my mind is that a section differentiating biocapacity from carrying capacity is needed, along with a section about the methodology of how biocapacity is calculated. The formulas are available from GFN. (Because Ive already seen confusion on the topic from friends who are biologists, yet the term "biocapacity" is not a normal term in that field, it is specialized term coined by GFN.) I suggest that the article called "Ecological Footprint" should serve as the main article, where the big discussion of comparison of Footprint to Biocapacity takes place, with articles such as Biocapacity and Global Hectare being smaller articles used to fill in details limited only to those terms.
