What factors determine the carrying capacity?
Factors that determine carrying capacity are the amount of resources available and population. Other factors are land area and amount of water.
What Limiting factors determine an areas carrying capacity?
The factors are: Food, Environment, Water, and Space. If any one of them will be gone, say if food is gone, the carrying capacity is not going to be affected since the population will go down. But if all of the factors are available, the carrying capacity will increase since there are all resources available for every species And the carrying capacity would decrease a little because the factors would be limitedAmount of land available, food and water accessibility, etc.Both limiting factors and carrying capacity have to do with population. Limiting factors limit the population from increasing. carrying capacity is the maximum amount of organisms that can live in an area.1.Sources of food supply2.Prey and predator3.Human activity4.Etc.
Does limiting factors determine the immigration capacity of a population?
yup
What non living factors effect carrying capacity in a lake?
food, water, population
What is a factor that might cause the carrying capacity of a population to change?
Will be higher seasons when more food is available
How do biotic potential and environmental resistance interact to determine carrying capacity?
The carrying capacity effects the interactions with environment just like the limiting factors effect interactions with environment.
What factors influences both carrying capacity and population density?
irrigation, fertilizers, and mechanized farm equipment
What would carrying capacity look like on a graph?
It depends on what the carrying capacity is plotted against.
What is the difference between carrying capacity and biotic potential?
carrying capacity is the largest number of individuals of one species that an environment can support. Biotic potential is the potential growth of a population if it could grow in perfect conditions with no limiting factors.
How limiting factors may affect population density?
Population density effects population size through many different factors: predation, spread of disease, competition for resources, and parasites. As such, it has a powerful effect on the carrying capacity of an environment.
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 is the carrying capacity in any ecosystem?
the largest population that can be supported
