What is Carrying Capacity? The carrying capacity is the maximum number of a species that an environment can support.
The maximum number of individuals in a species that an environment can support for the long term is the carrying capacity. Carrying capacity is limited by the limiting factors. These factors may include food, water, shelter, appropriate space, as well as disease, predation, and climatic conditions
If a population nears the carrying capacity. resources become limited and if a population exceeds the carrying capacity deaths began to outnumber births
