How do ecologists determine a population carrying capacity in advance

So predicting K can be done via verhulst pearl equation.-In advance of what? You can plot population trends and predict when the population will level out. If you are trying to introduce animals to a new area, you have to estimate based on the density of that animal in a similar habitat. Very tricky to define what is similar.......
Carring capacity is the limit upto which the environment of the ecosystem can feed a species. When K is reached, the species stabalizes and nothing can increase in population at that time. So predicting K can be done via verhulst pearl equation.
