The Carrying Capacity Concept is an evolving tool for monitoring sustainable development.
The concept originates from animal ecology, based on the logistic growth curve theory by Verhulst in
1838 [16–19]. Kozlowski (1990) argued on the existence of certain thresholds, beyond which the
natural environment will be irreversibly impaired [20]. According to the logistic growth model, the
animal population growth can be constrained to an upper asymptote, i.e
