It does not say exactly how resources are distributed at any point in time. In fact, the theory makes clear why such exact answers (like the ones economists give) are foolhardy. Human society is part of a much larger tapestry of life on earth — a tapestry of struggle and collaboration....
“Species aren’t equally distributed across the Earth; they have these hotspots,” Fisher said. For example, says AMNH entomologist Randall Schuh, as of 2003 there are about 2,000 known plant-eating bug species in North America, but only 200 in Australia, while the sampling of Australia’...
Like other species, we are the products of millions of years of adaptation. Now we're taking matters into our own hands.
How is water-use efficiency of terrestrial ecosystems distributed and changing on earth? Sci. Rep. 2014, 4, 7483.Tang Xuguang, Li Hengpeng, Desai A R, et al. How is water-use efficiency of terrestrial ecosystems distributed and changing on Earth?[J]. Scientific Reports, 2014, 4(7483): ...
Urbanization and climate change are contributing to severe flooding globally, damaging infrastructure, disrupting economies, and undermining human well-being. Approaches to make cities more resilient to floods are emerging, notably with the design of flood-resilient structures, but relatively little is kno...
Other than the walls, you might not even be able to tell you're in a rammed earth home because in most other ways, it resembles a conventionally built house. The foundation, roof, electricity, plumbing, and decorative features are installed in the same way as other houses. On the next ...

SPATIONAV draws on a vast network of cameras, radars and other sensors distributed along the coasts of mainland France and overseas departments such as Mayotte and French Guiana. "The setup consists of 105 sites along the French coastline, covering 6,000 kilometres", says Nicolas L., Programm...
For many people in industrialized countries, getting water is as easy as turning on a faucet, and it's rather inexpensive. But freshwater isn't evenly distributed throughout the world. More than half of the world's water supply is contained in just nine countries: the United States, Canada...
humans are expected to use local resources to build a Mars base. The relevant research paper was recently published in the international journal "Interdisciplinary Science". Imagine in the future, high-strength fibers made from Martian soil will be combined with soil matrix from Mars to form compo...
