The NRCS is a branch of the USDA:
[Carrying capacity is the maximum number of animal units of grazing and browsing animals that a particular parcel of grazing land can sustain over time without degrading soil, water, and native vegetative resources. (Society of Range Management 1989)] USDA-NRCS has guides that will give reasonable estimates of carrying capacity for most rangelands. In addition, procedures by Holechek (1988) and Troxel & White (1989) can be used to determine carrying capacity.
