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: -The maximum population size that can be supported by the environment is called carrying capacity.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sustainable carrying capacity has a simple definition from an ecological perspective-it is the number of a species that can be supported in a particular area indefinitely, given that area’s endowment of water, food, and other necessities.
Detailed explanation-4: -Carrying capacity is the maximum population of a given species that a certain ecosystem can sustain indefinitely without being degraded.
