The ecosystem cannot support more growth.
When a population reaches its carrying capacity, the resources in the ecosystem become limited and cannot support additional growth. This can lead to increased competition for resources, higher mortality rates, and a decrease in overall population size. It is a critical point at which population growth stabilizes and remains relatively constant over time.
