What are the numbers of organism that a particular area can support?

Answer 1

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!

Answer 2

It's hard to imagine, but there really isn't any definitive number! As long as there's a balance of producers and consumers, as long as all the organisms' requirements for life are being met (enough water, light, etc...), there isn't really a limit except for the physical space restrictions of the ecosystem. The number would be the population.

Answer 3

The number of organisms an area can support is influenced by factors such as food availability, shelter, competition, and presence of predators. This is known as the carrying capacity of the ecosystem, and it varies depending on the species and environmental conditions. It can be limited by resources such as food, water, and space, ultimately determining the maximum population that can be sustained in a given area.

Answer 4

Its the carrying capacity

Answer 5

The Carrying Capacity
