Water and Carbon General.

• Negative feedback:

  effect is reduced by dampening or neutralising the effect of a system, promotes stability and a state of dynamic equilibrium.
• Positive feedback:

  • events that amplify or increase change, exacerbate the outputs of a system thus driving it in one direction and promoting environmental instability.
• Dynamic equilibrium:

  • small variations in inputs and outputs but small enough that system is in balance on average.
