Carrying capacity of the popula
1 answer
tion refers to the maximum population size that an environment can sustain indefinitely given the available resources and conditions. It is determined by factors such as food availability, water supply, shelter, and other resources necessary for survival. When a population exceeds its carrying capacity, it can lead to resource depletion, competition for resources, and ultimately population decline or collapse. It is important for population management and conservation efforts to consider the carrying capacity of an environment to ensure the sustainability of a population over time.
