Abstract

The Comment by Lindberg and McCool (1998) makes a useful contribution to the debate on carrying capacity and reaffirms the observations and conclusions of our original paper, which include the fact that carrying capacity may be conceptually controversial, is problematic in its application and is of limited use in devising policy guidelines (Brown et al. 1997).
