Too important

But if not to infinity, the fact that precisely are placed the limits of increase? Them are placed stabilizer mechanisms, these limits are those peak loads, which one can maintain such mechanisms, preserving its capability. And it is not too important, increase or something other is the reason for the destructive levels of loads. It is important to know breaking points. Critically important not to allow passage beyond these limits, since this passage indicates the start of the irreversible processes. Very existence of breaking points trivially follows from the theory of the regulation: any regulating system allows only the limited external actions, output for such limitations makes regulation impossible. Do know we the breaking points of the mechanisms, which stabilize environment, population health and ? Of three cases indicated (but it is possible that in the course of time they will be located and others) in two sciences practically even it was not assigned by this question. Only posed a similar problem, after introducing the concept of the biosphere (on a global scale, for the tasks of more low levels - carrying capacity of ecosystems) carrying capacities. The carrying capacity of biosphere (it - economic, and also ecological capacity) - this is the limit of the anthropogenic action, after which (if the exceeding actions they acquire a constant nature) in the biosphere begin the irreversible degradation changes, the ability then to reproduce environment loses, so that its characteristics would remain in the boundaries acceptable for the biota. Certainly, the concept of the carrying capacity cannot serve as the model of scientific strictness, not one generation of will refine it, moreover in different aspects. However, are known attempts the estimations of the ecological capacity of biosphere, in any case, its that anthropogenic exceeding, which already occurs. The contemporary exceeding of anthropogenic load on the biosphere is evaluated at the studies indicated as tenfold, and passage beyond the limit of the carrying capacity times to the boundary OF THE XIX - 20th century (we will hope that the duration of this exceeding - about 100 years - thus far cannot be qualified as sufficient for the initiation of ecological catastrophe).
