renewability
Capacity for restoration
Renewability is the quality of being renewable—capable of being renewed, replenished, or restored.
The term appears most often in discussions of energy and natural resources, distinguishing sources like solar and wind power from finite fossil fuels.
The renewability of timber depends on sustainable forestry practices.
Beyond environmental contexts, renewability can apply to contracts, subscriptions, or licenses that permit extension or continuation.
