Consumptive resources are resources that are unable to be renewed or take a long period of time to do so. Non consumptive resources are resources like solar energy that don't use up any resources.
Consumptive practices are the habits and behavior that contribute to the consumption of goods, food, services and other resources.

Consumptive water use is water that is use up. That has been consumed! Non consumptive use is water that isn't used up. Things like fishtanks or decoration intended fountains.
Yes, the opposite of "consumptive water" refers to water that is not consumed or used up in a way that depletes its availability, often termed "non-consumptive water." While "water consumption" typically refers to the total amount of water used, "consumptive water" specifically indicates water that is permanently removed from a water source, whereas non-consumptive uses, such as hydroelectric power generation or recreational activities, allow the water to remain in its natural cycle. Thus, the terms are related but not directly oppositional.
Non-consumptive tourism refers to travel experiences that do not involve the consumption of resources or the extraction of materials from natural environments. This type of tourism emphasizes activities that promote conservation and sustainability, such as wildlife observation, hiking, and cultural experiences. It aims to minimize the ecological footprint while providing educational and immersive experiences for travelers. By focusing on appreciation rather than exploitation, non-consumptive tourism supports the preservation of ecosystems and local cultures.
Consumptive tourism involves tangible products extracted from the natural environment. ex: fishing
I do not know.....that is why I am looking here...

Consumptive use of biodiversity refers to the direct utilization of natural resources for immediate benefits, such as food, medicine, and materials. This includes activities like hunting, fishing, and harvesting plants, which provide essential goods for human survival and economic activities. While it can support livelihoods, excessive consumptive use can lead to biodiversity loss and environmental degradation if not managed sustainably. Balancing consumption with conservation is crucial for maintaining ecosystem health and resilience.
Rangelands are characterized by the vegetation that is remaining in perennial cover due to low suitability for cultivation and annual cropping, although lands that are considered "arable" can still be converted into vegetative perennial cover. Rangelands are also characterized by the diversified outputs categorized as consumptive and non-consumptive and ecosystem services. Consumptive/non-consumptive outputs include meat and fibre (from livestock and wildlife), water quantity and quality, timber & fuel wood, minerals (including oil and gas), recreation, and biodiversity. Ecosystem services include climate amelioration (C-storage to offset greehouse gases), filtering pollutants (phyto-remediation of excess N/P) and maintaining three main functions: Energy flow, nutrient cycling/retention, and hydrologic functions.
