Detailed explanation-1: -Carrying capacity can be defined as a species’ average population size in a particular habitat. The species population size is limited by environmental factors like adequate food, shelter, water, and mates. If these needs are not met, the population will decrease until the resource rebounds.
Detailed explanation-2: -Carrying capacity is the maximum number, density, or biomass of a population that a specific area can support sustainably. This likely varies over time and depends on environmental factors, resources, and the presence of predators, disease agents, and competitors over time.
Detailed explanation-3: -The carrying capacity of an environment is the maximum population size of a biological species that can be sustained by that specific environment, given the food, habitat, water, and other resources available.
Detailed explanation-4: -Biological carrying capacity is an equilibrium between the availability of habitat and the number of animals of a given species the habitat can support over time. Cultural carrying capacity is the number and type of a given species that people will tolerate over time.
