Built-up land biocapacity measures how much of the regenerative capacity is occupied by infrastructure (built-up land). Regenerative capacity is an aggregate measure of the amount of area available, weighted by the productivity of that area. It represents the ability of a biosphere to produce crops, livestock (pasture), timber products (forest), and seafood as well as the biosphere's ability to uptake CO2 in forests. The measure of built-up land biocapacity is divided by the population size.
