Answer to Problem 31R
Carrying capacity
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The carrying capacity is the favorable environmental conditions to sustain in a particular environment.
The carrying capacity is an important factor for living entities to sustain. If the consumption rate of the natural sources is very high, then the carrying capacity of the environment decreases and it becomes the threat for the species for that environment.
Conclusion:
Thus, the maximum number of individuals of a particular species that the environment can support is called the carrying capacity.
