Carrying Capacity

Carrying Capacity Definition | GradesUp.gg

The largest population that an environment can support

Real World Example

Imagine having a limited number of seats at a dinner table and trying to invite as many friends as possible. Just like how you can only invite as many people as there are seats, an environment can only support as many organisms as its resources allow. The dinner table's seating capacity is like the environment's carrying capacity, where each seat represents resources like food, water, and space, and each guest represents an individual in a population.
