Man's impact on plant life - once limited and local- is DOW global and affects the entire biosphere. Hence, a growing number of scientists DOW state that we have entered a new geological cpoch, the Anthropocene. However, biotic resources are not unlimited and the ability to regenerate is often exceeded by the speed and extent of exploitation. It is in mankind's own vital interest to manage natural rcsources in a way that makes thcm last ror futurc generations. This perspective of a "sustainability" depends greatly on various biological features and issues that can largely be captured by biological studies on growth, regeneration, prodoctivity and recruitment Tbe associated social and economical facets an: often less easily quantified and less predictable.
