Detailed explanation-1: -As population growth becomes more restricted, and the size of the population reaches stability, that population reaches its carrying capacity. On this graph, carrying capacity is marked by the line K. This carrying capacity is the population size that a certain environment can sustain, or carry.
Detailed explanation-2: -The term â(K-N)/Kâ in the equation for logistic population growth represents the environmental resistance, where K is the carrying capacity and N is the number of individuals in a population over time.
Detailed explanation-3: -Carrying Capacity Graph Here, the carrying capacity (symbol: K) for a biological species is marked by the red dotted horizontal line to describe the number of organisms that the environment can support sustainably for a given time.
