Abstract: "Buckets effect" is a widely accepted theory with strong practicality in management science.It is also widely used in the assessment of resources and environment carrying capacity.This article analyzes the possible influence mechanisms and cases, points out the application of "buckets effect" in the assessment of resources and environment is too simple, and the "buckets effect" is just one of the various mechanisms.A suggestion is given that multiple effect mechanisms and its evolution law should be studied more deeply under the guidance of holism concept, and how to use mathematical model to simulate them determines the method reconstruction of resources and environment carrying capacity monitoring and early warning.
