1.What is carrying capacity? 2. What are limiting factors? 3. How do limiting factors affect the carrying capacity?

Carrying Capacity

1.What is carrying capacity? 2. What are limiting factors? Carrying capacity is the maximum number of individuals a certain area can support. Limiting factors are environmental factors that include food, water, and space.

3. How do limiting factors affect the carrying capacity? Limiting factors determines the carrying capacity.

Biological Carrying Capacity 4. What can damage the healthy ecosystem? 5. What are three variables that can affect the biological carrying capacity of a certain ecosystem? 6. How do sturgeons survive in spite of their high population? 7. How do wildlife managers manage the carrying capacity of the lake?

Biological Carrying Capacity

4. What can damage the healthy ecosystem? 5. What are three variables that can affect the biological carrying capacity of a certain ecosystem? Biological Carrying Capacity When too many of a certain species eat all the food. 1.Abundance of food 2.Sustainable foods 3.Competition for food

6. How do sturgeons survive in spite of their high population? 7. How do wildlife managers manage the carrying capacity of the lake? Biological Carrying Capacity Sturgeon eat lake fly larvae when they are abundant and Gizzard shad when they are out of season. When overpopulation is reached, wildlife managers issue more licenses to catch and lower the population. vice versa.

8. How do human beings expand their carrying capacity? Think! Ecological footprint overshoot

Can We Expand Our Carrying Capacity? Think! Hydroponics High rise buildings and ridges Aquaponics
