Answer:The carrying capacity will decrease and the owl population will decrease.

Explanation:

Carrying Capacity refers to maximum number of specific species' populatuon that a particular habitat can accomodate in an area at a given span of time if it is not altered or destroyed.

Things that can have a negative impact on the carrying capacity are diseases, predators , pollution , human development projects and other factors that will alter or destroy a habitat.

When a housing development project begins the forests will be cleared out , deforestation will take place as part of the forest is removed the habitat is altered or hampered with which means it no longer cover the same extent of an areas it covered before , the lesser available area the smaller the habitat and lesser the owls that will be accommodated and the likely that they will have to leave this habitat. It is likely that some owls next with unhatched eggs will also be destroyed hence resulting to a decrease of owls.
