Mathematically speaking, the population begins to level off or "plateau" at a constant value. In reality, the population will overshoot the theoretical carrying capacity and then dive back down below it over and over again until the population stabilizes.

Some sort of limiting factor will cause the population to fall again

What happens to a population when the size of the population reaches carrying capacity?

starvation increases to the point where this population is maintained.


What happens when population reaches it's carrying capacity?

Ideally a population at its carrying capacity is stable, there is enough for all to survive. The system is usually slightly underdamped and the population will vary between just over its carrying capacity where some individuals suffer and under its capacity where there is a surplus. If the system is severely under damped there are extreme swings in the population. A typical example is the relation between Arctic hares and foxes.

What happens to a population when its grows larger than its carrying capacity?

basically the size of a population can only grow to equal the amount of resources the environment can provide (carrying capacity). So if there arent many resources in an area and too large of a population, then there will be starvation and fight for resources. But if there is an overabundance of resources and the carrying capacity is very high, then the population will grow till it falls under its own weight. It's the cirlce of life.


What happens when a popuation reaching carrying capacity?

The population continues to grow.


What happens when the number of organisms is an environment is higher than the carrying capacity?

then the organisms must compete for living space The population will decrease.


What happens when an environment has not reached its carrying capacity for a population?

The population continues to grow.


What happens if a population grows larger than the carring capacity?

If the population exceeds the carrying capacity, unless the carrying capacity is only teoretical and thus in practice proven wrong, the ecosystem will slowly diminish. There won't be enough lifeforms to support the populus and all life forms will die.
