Overshootot

Overshootot is a term used to describe a situation where a system, process, or action exceeds its intended target or limit, and then returns to a point below the target. The term is often used in the context of environmental management, where it refers to the temporary exceeding of a safe limit for a particular resource, such as a species population or ecosystem function. This can occur due to various factors, including human activities, natural variability, or management errors. The overshootot is typically followed by a period of recovery, where the system returns to a state within the safe limit. The concept of overshootot is important in the field of ecology and environmental management, as it highlights the need for careful monitoring and management of natural resources to prevent long-term degradation.
