Carrying capacity is population that is supported by its supporting systems. An example of carrying capacity is wildlife living in the forest. Since the forest can only hold so many different species of wildlife, it has a particular carrying capacity.

Why is carrying capacity important?
Carrying capacity is important in the ecosystem because The carrying capacity for any given area is not fixed. It can be altered by improved technology, but mostly it is changed for the worse by pressures which accompany a population increase. As the environment is degraded, carrying capacity actually shrinks, leaving the environment no longer able to support even the number of people who could formerly have lived in the area on a sustainable basis. No population can live beyond the environment's carrying capacity for very long.
