Is carrying capacity the same for all species?
yes
What factors relating to population size contributed to the carrying capacity of an ecosystem?
There are several important factors to determine he carrying capacity for a population in an ecosystem: An obvious factor-the more food available the more amount of population that can be held. The less competition for the same objectives, the better a population will do in an ecostsyem. The more predators in an ecosystem the lesser the number of the population. The hardest to explain, the population's behavior will effect the size of the population an ecosystem can contain. For instance, if a species is territorial, it will not allow others of the same kind in its area. This requires the ecosystem to be of much greater size than a population that forms big groups to share a small area.
What are the numbers of organism that a particular area can support?
Every ecosystem has a carrying capacity, which is the maximum number of organisms that particular ecosystem can sustain for an indefinite period of time. The precise number of organisms varies with the ecosystem, for example a rain-forest could sustain more animals that a desert of the same size, though it's really hard to predict an exact number. The number of organisms living in an ecosystem will constantly change due to death, birth, immigration and emigration, so the number of animals living in an ecosystem can shift higher or lower than the maximum carrying capacity. Although, generally, if it is higher than the carrying capacity, animals will either die as the ecosystem cannot support them, or emigrate to somewhere new, depending on the habits of that particular organism. Hope this helps!
How can overpopulation of a species be a problem to an ecosystem?
Over population of a particular species will cause the food chain in that ecosystem to become unstable. Over population will also reduce the amount of producers within an ecosystem (depending if the over population is of a consumer) and will lead to the decrease of other animal species inhabiting the same ecosystem.
What are the methods of fishing that disturb the interrelationshipin an ecosystem?
Very effective methods of fishing, which remove a large portion of a specific species all in the same go, can upset the ecosystem.

If the forest was made up of a variety of the oak species how would this affect the carrying capacity?
If a disease between trees happend only the same species of trees not the whole forest

Why do exotic species sometimes take over an ecosystem?
When exotic species are introduced into a new ecosystem, they often don't encounter the same factors that controlled the exotic species population or growth that was in the original ecosystem.
What is it called when a group of organisms of different species live in the same area?
ecosystem
How can overpopulation of a species be a problem to an ecosystem?
Over population of a particular species will cause the food chain in that ecosystem to become unstable. Over population will also reduce the amount of producers within an ecosystem (depending if the over population is of a consumer) and will lead to the decrease of other animal species inhabiting the same ecosystem.
Why do conservation efforts currently focus on protecting entire ecosystem as well as single species?
Today, conservation efforts focus on protecting entire ecosystems as well as single species. Protecting an ecosystem will ensure that the natural habitats and the interactions of many different species are preserved at the same time.
What will most likely occur if two different plant species compete for the same requirements in an ecosystem?
3.One species may be eliminated from that ecosystem
What are the methods of fishing that disturb the interrelationshipin an ecosystem?
Very effective methods of fishing, which remove a large portion of a specific species all in the same go, can upset the ecosystem.
What doe protecting an ecosystem ensure?
That the natural habitats and the interactions of many different species are preserved at the same time.
