Carrying Capacity

Carrying capacity : The highest number of individuals the area can support Have these fish reached carrying capacity?

A giraffe eats 10 kg a day. The trees in the area produce 100 kg a day A giraffe eats 10 kg a day. The trees in the area produce 100 kg a day. How many giraffes can the area support? 100 /10 = 10 Carrying capacity = 10 giraffes

The effect is determined by Carrying capacity is affected by density dependent and density independent factors Density dependent: The effect is determined by how many are present Density independent: All are effected
