In this case, the population has exceeded the available food, thus causing a decline in the population.
<h3>What is carrying capacity?</h3>
It is the maximum population size that an ecosystem can sustain based on the resources that it has.
Above the carrying capacity, resources become extremely limited and competition becomes stiff in the population. Thus, the population declines.
Below the carrying capacity, resources are abundant and the population grows. Most of the time, a mature population hovers around the carrying capacity of the ecosystem.
