3. Renewable Resources Trees Fresh air
Examples
Renewable Resources Definition
Trees
Fresh air
Fresh surface water in lakes, rivers and streams
Fertile soil (except when erosion occurs)
Carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle and the phosphorous cycle
Resources that can be regenerated in a short period of time (5 to 20 years)
Challenges: it is easier to clear cut a forest than it is to select specific trees
Selecting specific trees produces a higher level of renewability of resources.

4. Sustainable yield of Organisms (page 679)
Sustainable Yield Examples
Replacing the renewable resource as quickly as we are using that resource.
This means not only replacing the resource with exactly the same amount but increasing the success by having extra (example for every tree we cut down we replace it with 3 saplings)
Plants and animals (as long as mature individuals survive)
Crops: planting and harvesting (sunshine, rainfall and fertile soil)
Forestry: cutting and replanting trees (paper it takes 10 to 20 years, for timber it takes up to 60 years)
