Presentation transcript:

How do limiting factors determine an ecosystem’s carrying capacity? 7th Grade Science Notes are in blue.

Carrying Capacity The amount of organisms the environment can support without competition When organisms exceed carrying capacity, competition begins

Limiting factors limit population growth. A limiting factor is something that keeps the size of a population down.

Can carrying capacity change over time? Limiting factors can alter the carrying capacity The orange aliens each need a lychee and a quib to survive. What is the carrying capacity? What is the limiting factor? lychee quib

Can carrying capacity change over time? A drought results in fewer lychees. What is the new carrying capacity? What is the new limiting factor?
