[edit] Rewording necessary under "Types of values attatched to resources"

This section seems very unspecific and somewhat opinionated (for lack of a better word). I think the section is important to the article but it needs extensive rewording to be of a fact-based, encylopedic quality. Noz92 (talk) 20:26, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

This page is a good start to cover the facts which are applicable to resources in general. Therefore the confusing (types and developments) should go. Inwind (talk) 21:40, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

This page has been moved from "Resource (types and developments)" to Resource as the result of a move proposal listed at Wikipedia:Requested moves. Dekimasuよ! 07:18, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reserve vs resource. Importance

In Norwegian, both in economy and ecology, we distinguishes between “ressurs” (resource) and “reserve” (reserve) for non-renewable resources.

“Ressurs” (resource) is the total resources of the actual item – actual plus potential resources in terms of the article.

“Reserve” (reserve) is the known part of the resource that at the given moment also is economically exploitable. This means of course that the mount of reserves not are fixed, as abiotic resources are, reserves varies with prospecting, extraction and production costs and prices of the product.

For non-renewable resources (fossil fuels, minerals e.g.) on often use the R/P-rate (reserve by production per period) which gives the number of periods the reserve will last, prices, production costs and resources fixed.

Does one not have the same terminology in English, or should this article be amended with the definitions above?

---

I mean that the importance of the term in ecology is "mid" (or may be "high"). For environmental and economical issues, I mean it is very important and should be rated high. That it is rated "mid" in economy, maybe reflects that economists seems to forget that, basically, the economy is dependent of natural resources? But it may ned more depth first, may be?
