Types of Carrying Capacity
Biophysical Carrying CapacityThe extent to which the natural environment
is able to tolerate interference from tourists. Deals with ecology which is able to
regenerate to some extent so in this case the carrying capacity is when the damage exceeds the habitat's ability to regenerate.
