ESS IBDP 8.4: Carrying Capacity unit of work
Carrying capacity is the maximum number of a species, or “load” that can be sustainably supported by a given area.
It is possible to estimate the carrying capacity of an environment for a given species; however, this is problematic in the case of human populations for a number of reasons.
An EF is the area of land and water required to support a defined human population at a given standard of living. The measure of an EF takes into account the area required to provide all the resources needed by the population, and the assimilation of all wastes.
EF is a model used to estimate the demands that human populations place on the environment.
EFs may vary significantly by country and by individual and include aspects such as lifestyle choices (EVS), productivity of food production systems, land use and industry. If the EF of a human population is greater than the land area available to it, this indicates that the population is unsustainable and exceeds the carrying capacity of that area.
Degradation of the environment, together with the consumption of finite resources, is expected to limit human population growth.
If human populations do not live sustainably, they will exceed carrying capacity and risk collapse.

ESS (IBDP) 1.3 energy and energy and equilibria unit of work
Entire unit of work for Environmental systems and societies topic 1.3: energy and equilibria. Full lessons ready to teach: no extra planning needed.
Covers:
The first law of thermodynamics is the principle of conservation of energy,
which states that energy in an isolated system can be transformed but cannot
be created or destroyed.
• The principle of conservation of energy can be modelled by the energy
transformations along food chains and energy production systems.
• The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of a system
increases over time. Entropy is a measure of the amount of disorder in a
system. An increase in entropy arising from energy transformations reduces
the energy available to do work.
• The second law of thermodynamics explains the in efficiency and decrease in
available energy along a food chain and energy generation systems.
• As an open system, an ecosystem will normally exist in a stable equilibrium,
either in a steady-state equilibrium or in one developing over time (for
example, succession), and maintained by stabilizing negative feedback loops.
• Negative feedback loops (stabilizing) occur when the output of a process
inhibits or reverses the operation of the same process in such a way as to
reduce change—it counteracts deviation.
• Positive feedback loops (destabilizing) will tend to amplify changes and drive
the system towards a tipping point where a new equilibrium is adopted.
• The resilience of a system, ecological or social, refers to its tendency to avoid
such tipping points and maintain stability.
• Diversity and the size of storages within systems can contribute to their
resilience and affect their speed of response to change (time lags).
• Humans can affect the resilience of systems through reducing these storages
and diversity.
• The delays involved in feedback loops make it difficult to predict tipping
points and add to the complexity of modelling systems.
