Abundance may refer to:
- Abundance (economics) Post scarcity or post-scarcity describes a hypothetical form of economy or society, often explored in science fiction, in which things such as goods, services and information are free, or practically free. This would be due to an abundance of fundamental resources , in conjunction with sophisticated automated systems capable of converting raw, the opposite of scarcity
- Abundance (ecology) Abundance is an ecological concept referring to the relative representation of a species in a particular ecosystem. It is usually measured as the large number of individuals found per sample. How species abundances are distributed within an ecosystem is referred to as relative species abundances, the relative representation of a species in a community
- Abundance (programming language) Abundance is a Forth-inspired programming language for DOS, created by Roedy Green, a Forth-like computer programming language
- Abundance, a property of abundant numbers In mathematics, an abundant number or excessive number is a number n for which σ > 2n. Here σ(n) is the sum-of-divisors function: the sum of all positive divisors of n, including n itself. The value σ(n) − 2n is called the abundance of n. An equivalent definition is that the proper divisors of the number (the divisors except the number
In chemistry:
- Abundance (chemistry) In a chemical reaction, a reactant is considered to be in abundance if the quantity of that substance is high and virtually unchanged by the reaction. Abundance differs from excess in that a reactant in excess is simply any reactant other than the limiting reagent; the amount by which a reactant is in excess is often specified, such as with terms, when a substance in a reaction is present in high quantities
- Abundance of the chemical elements The abundance of a chemical element measures how relatively common the element is, or how much of the element there is by comparison to all other elements. Abundance may be variously measured by the mass-fraction , or mole-fraction (fraction of atoms, or sometimes fraction of molecules, in gases), or by volume fraction. Measurement by volume-, a measure of how common elements are
- Natural abundance In chemistry, natural abundance refers to the abundance isotopes of a chemical element as naturally found on a planet. The relative atomic mass (a weighted average) of these isotopes is the atomic weight listed for the element in the periodic table. The abundance of an isotope varies from planet to planet but remains relatively constant in time, the natural prevalence of different isotopes of an element on Earth
- Abundance of elements in Earth's crust
In literature:
- Abundance (play), a 1990 stage play written by Beth Henley Elizabeth Becker Henley is an American dramatist and actress. She received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1981 for her play, Crimes of the Heart (1978)
