A resource that can renew or replace itself and, therefore, with proper management, can be harvested indefinitely.
a resource that can be used continuously without being completely depleted (because it regenerates itself within a useful amount of time). Examples include water (small hydro) and wind power, solar energy, and geothermal energy.
A resource that is capable of being naturally restored or replenished (e.g. trees).
A resource that can be depleted but will be replenished by natural processes. Forests and fisheries are examples.
Resource that can be replenished rapidly (hours to several decades) through natural processes. Examples are trees in forests, grasses in grasslands, wild animals, fresh surface water in lakes and streams, most groundwater, fresh air, and fertile soil. If such a resource is used faster than it is replenished, it can be depleted and converted into a nonrenewable resource. See also environmental degradation. Compare nonrenewable resource and perpetual resource.
A natural resource like the sun or wind that can be used again and again without ever running out.
A natural resource that can be replenished by natural means at rates comparable to its rate of consumption.
A resource which is capable of being replenished through natural processes or its own reproduction within a time span of a few decades.
Natural resource which can be replaced in a comparatively Short period of time, without the permanent removal of any finite resource from the earth, for example fast growing vegetation.
resources supplied on a continuing basis by ecosystems; renewable resources such as forests and fisheries can be depleted through exploitation.
a natural resource that comes from an endless or repeating source like the: sun, wind, water, fish, trees, cotton.
any natural resource (as wood or solar energy) that can be replenished naturally with the passage of time
a natural resource that can be replenished over a relatively short period of time
a natural resource that is not depleted when used by human beings
a natural resource which can regenerate (recreate) by natural ecological cycles or sound management practices
a technology that uses the forces of nature to produce electricity
an energy resource in the environment which can be renewed if proper care is taken. Examples include hydropower, wind power, biomass, solar power, and geothermal energy.
A resource that is likely to be replenished through natural processes (for instance, by the hydrological cycle) or its own regeneration, generally within a time frame that does not exceed a few decades.
a resource that is replaced as it is used
a resource that has the capacity to be replaced through natural processes; for example, trees are a renewable resource.
those natural resources that are able to be renewed such as food, water and light.
sources are those replaced within a reasonable time frame by natural processes. These sources of energy do not create as much pollution and use resources that we are able to keep using - like the sun and wind! Energy created from renewable resources is sometimes called green power.
naturally occurring raw material that comes from a limitless or cyclical source such as the sun, wind, water (hydroelectricity), or trees. When properly used and managed, renewable resources are not consumed faster than they are replenished.
A natural resource that replenishes itself in the short term. For example, trees can be harvested and new trees can grow back in the same place. The opposite is a nonrenewable resource such as copper or oil. Once it is pulled out of the ground it isn't going to come back, at least not in this geological age.
A power source that is continuously or cyclically renewed by nature. In the Northwest Power Act, a resource that uses solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, biomass or similar sources of energy.
A natural resource that may be replenished through natural cycles and sound management. The sun, wind, wetlands, forests and croplands are examples of renewable resources.
a living resource that can be replaced by nature or human actions
A naturally occurring raw material or from of energy derived from an endless or cyclical source, such as the sun, wind, falling water, biofuels and trees. With proper management and wise use, the consumption of these resources can be approximately equal to replacement by natural or human-assisted systems.
A resource that can be regenerated (e.g., a growing diatom population that is being exploited by a copepod).
A power source that is continuously or cyclically renewed by nature, i.e. solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, biomass or similar sources of energy.
natural resource, such as tree biomass, fresh water or fish whose supply can essentially never be exhausted, usually because it is continuously produced.
A natural resource that can be replaced
A resource derived from an endless or cyclical source, such as sun, wind, water or biomass.
A resource that is replenished at the same rate it is used.
A natural resource, such as timber, which renews itself over time by regrowth.
A resource that can grow back, such as trees.
a resource that can be replaced if used carefully. Grains, wood and fish are renewable resources.
A resource that can be replaced once it has been used and continue to be supplied in a sustainable way. Solar energy is an example of a renewable energy resource. Energy from fossil fuels is considered non-renewable because it is a finite resource.
A naturally occurring raw material or form of energy that has the capacity to replenish itself through ecological cycles and sound management practices.
A natural resource that replenishe...
A resource that can be replaced by nature within a short time span relative to a human life span.
a resource in which the materials as well as organisms are "reassembled" as fast as they are dispersed.
A natural substance, such as water, wind, and sunlight, that can be replaced once it is used.
A renewable resource is any natural resource that is depleted at a rate slower than the rate at which it regenerates, or a natural resource that is depleted at such a rate that it is unlikely to be depleted in the conceivable future. A resource must either have a way of regenerating itself in order to qualify as renewable, or alternatively be so abundant that its depletion is next to impossible.
