On a human time scale, a renewable resource can
be replenished fairly rapidly (from hours to decades)
through natural processes as long as it is not used up
faster than it is renewed. Examples are forests, grasslands,
fisheries, fresh water, fresh air, and fertile soil.



在人的時間表，一種更新資源能通過自然過程相當迅速地被重新補充(從幾小時到數十年)，只要它比它被更新沒有用盡快速地。 例子是森林、草原、漁場、淡水、新鮮空氣和沃土。
