Question

Describe one factor that can alter the carrying capacity of a population?

Answer 1

Food availability is one of the major factor which can alter the carrying capacity of the population. If there is a finite supply of food, after sometime the carrying capacity will start decreasing and will keep on decreasing as the finite resource is being utilized and would soon be exhausted. Carrying capacity is the maximum number of individuals of a species that can be sustained in a specific environment at a given time and the finite resources.
