A quantitative method for using an inventory of the soil and water resources of the state of Oregon to determine human population carrying capacities for two acceptable qualities of life

Creator:: Karr, Don John
Abstract:: A method was developed for converting the food producing capabilities of Oregon's soils to numerical data from which state and county carrying capacities for human populations could be calculated. Another method was developed for converting the needs for housing and related support construction to numerical data which would consume cultivated...
