Carrying Capacity Research Assignment

Introduction The term carrying capacity is fundamental to the concept of maintaining sustainable communities. However, it has been applied in many different ways in many different contexts. For this assignment, you must locate an article from a reputable journal (not an abstract or a discussion from the internet) that uses the term carrying capacity.

 Your article must come from a journal found through the CSU, Chico Library Research Station.

Read the Article While reading the article pay close attention to how the term carrying capacity is used. If your article does not discuss the term, find a different article. However, there are no restrictions on how it is used in the article or what the article is about (parks, elevators, or whatever).

Write and post your explanation of the meaning

Post the following in the Assignments link, "Carrying Capacity":

1. Author, title, name of journal, date, and page numbers of article (so that I can find the article). If you cannot identify these things, find a different article!

2. In 200-300 words, write a brief explanation of the term carrying capacity as it is used in the article. The more description and details that you provide, the easier it will be for others to comment on your explanation.

Bring a hard copy of your assignment to class.
