Limiting Factors: Limiting factors are environmental conditions that restrict the growth or distribution of a population. Examples include food availability, water supply, and competition for resources.
Overshoot: Overshoot occurs when a population temporarily exceeds its carrying capacity due to favorable conditions but eventually declines as resources become limited.
Ecological Footprint: Ecological footprint measures how much land and resources are required to sustain an individual's lifestyle and consumption patterns. It helps us understand our impact on Earth's carrying capacity.
