Verknüpfung??? Explanation: Swathe is normally something like 'wickeln, einwickeln, verbinden, bandagieren', I have a feeling this might mean the immense population being all connected or bound together. Not 100% sure, but it makes more sense then just using 'number'. Collins Dictionary & Thesaurus |

Bandbreite Explanation: to swathe = einhüllen. a swathe = broad band = breiter Streifen. This doesn't serve your purpose, since Erdbevölkerung is not an objekt. Bandbreite tarnslates as "range", which is what I think is meant in your sample. Oxford Duden |

große Teile der... Explanation: can't think of a way to render the image of 'swath' (variant spelling: swathe) in German; 'große Teile' renders the idea, however. Collins, Oxford, me |
