Resource consumption is about the consumption of non-renewable, or less often, renewable resources. Specifically, it may refer to:
- water consumption
- energy consumption
- natural gas consumption/gas depletion
- oil consumption/oil depletion
- logging/deforestation
- fishing/overfishing
- land use/land loss or
- resource depletion and
- general exploitation and associated environmental degradation
Measures of resource consumption are resource intensity and resource efficiency. Industrialization and globalized markets have increased the tendency for overconsumption of resources. The resource consumption rate of a nation does not usually correspond with the primary resource availability, this is called resource curse.
Unsustainable consumption by the steadily growing human population may lead to resource depletion and a shrinking of the earth's carrying capacity.[1]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
