Question

The carrying capacity is the maximum number of individual organisms that ____.

Answer 1

The carrying capacity is the maximum number of individual organisms that a specific environment can support.

• An environment can only support a limited number of people.
• Carrying capacity refers to the maximum population size that an ecosystem can support without depleting the natural resources available at a time.
• Carrying capacity is determined by limiting variables like non-living(abiotic) factors and living(biotic) factors.
• The number of creatures that may live in an environment is determined by the availability of abiotic (eg. water, oxygen, and natural habitat) and biotic (eg. food, decomposers like fungi) elements.
• Generally in an ecosystem, a species' population will rise until it achieves its carrying capacity. The population size then stays fairly constant to check over the sustainable development.
• Sustainable development is defined as development that meets current needs without impacting future generations' ability to meet their requirements.
• Resources may be fully exhausted if the population exceeds the carrying capacity for an extended length of time.
• Natural disasters(flood, drought, volcanic eruption etc.) and  Anthropogenic activities(human interventions) also have the potential to reduce or raise carrying capacity.
