The environment has something called the carrying capacity. This is the amount of life it can sustain. Limiting factors, like food, water, and light, lower the carrying capacity because there is only a limited amount available.

Overpopulation causes stress on the environment because the amount of organisms is over the carrying capacity. (To read specifically about the overpopulation of humans, see this question). This leads to a struggle for survival because the organisms are undernourished. The struggle causes damage to other organisms and the environment because of the struggle for nutrients.

Plants try to get the most soil for nutrients, crowding out other plants. Too many animals will destroy the environment around them to get more food, including different food than they usually consume, leading to struggles with other animals.

This kills off other plants and animals in the process, and the loss of biodiversity is extremely dangerous to the environment.

Answer:

Abiotic factors, such as temperature, water, sunlight amounts, and regional terrain, directly effect biotic factors. Biotic factors are the living components of an ecosystem which include primary producers, consumers, and dexomposers.

Abiotic factors can effect organisms in many ways. Hey can effect primary producers negatively if there is too little sun, water, or nutrients in the soil. However, if there is too much of any one of these, they can still be negatively effected. With primary producers, it’s all about balance.

while consumers do not directly require the above conditions, they do rely on the plants and animals that feed on said plants to survive. If the plants do not have correct nutrients, they will not either. As far as terrain goes, they adapt to better cope with the environment. If they live in an aquatic enviromment for example, they acquire ways to more efficiently move through the water to look for food.

Decomposers rely on the remains of dead plants and animals in order to survive. They feed off of dead matter and the waste gets deposited into the soil. This in turn helps to give the soil its nutrients, and so the cycle continues.

Everything in nature is reliant on each other. This delicate balancing act is both beautiful and so very fragile. If one organism is removed, the entire ecosystem could suffer. This is why it is so critical to protect the environment we share with every other living creature on this earth.
