Development of a comprehensive assessment model for coral reef island carrying capacity(CORE-CC)

Abstract Coral reef islands provide precious living space and valuable ecological services for human beings, and its sustainability cannot be ignored under the pressure of human activities. Carrying capacity (CC) assessment has gradually become an important means to measure sustainability of islands...
