Abstract

The latest research has approached the ecosystem's carrying capacity, an issue that both the specialists in demography and the specialists in human ecology inquired about, to be able to estimate based on scientific grounds the limits of natural development and of demographic growth. The carrying capacity is a characteristic feature of every ecological system or category of ecosystems, depending on their development stages and the hierarchic stage they are part of. Consequently, the carrying capacity is the concrete expression of the stability domain expressing the ecosystem's ability to modify its structural and functional parameters under the influence of the command factors. The stability domain of an ecosystem designates the direction in which it is developing, with the mention that the process is taking place on very large time scales, of over 100 years and is reversible, each time a strong impact from external factors is exerted on the system. It results, in this context, that the notion of “carrying capacity” actually points to the capacity of functioning of large, complex and dynamic systems, as ecological systems are.
