Definición

  • Carrying capacity is best known today as a means of expressing the finitude of Earth's resources relative to the human population. However, the concept has been used in a remarkably wide range of fields beyond demography and geography, including anthropology, ecology, population biology, range and wildlife management, engineering, medicine, and law.
