Eventually the organisms will die because they would die of thirst beacause there wouldn't be any water for them to drink. (:

What happens to carrying capacity of an ecosystem when resources become limited?

Eventually the organisms will die because they would die of thirst beacause there wouldn't be any water for them to drink. (:


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

The population continues to grow.


Why does competition happen?

Competition happens because there are limited resources in an ecosystem.


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.


What is carrying capacity what happens if the population grows larger than the carrying capacity?

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


What happens when an environment has reached its carrying capacity for a population?

The population continues to grow.


What happens to population growth in a logistic growth pattern as it reaches carrying capacity?

The population levels off at the carrying capacity.


What happens when the blood has less than it normal oxygen carrying capacity?

Brain failure


What happens to a population that has not reached its carrying capacity?

exponential


What happens if the carrying capacity is exceeded?

It will likely descend into warfare as happened on Easter Island, and savagery will continue until the population drops below whatever remains of the carrying capacity. However, the warfare may also diminish both the human resources and Natural Resources and infrastructure to the point that no meaningful recovery is possible. Think TSE's "not with a bang, but a whimper".


What happens to abiotic factors when biotic populations increase?

There will always be enough abiotic resources in an ecosystem.
