A population's carrying capacity is the amount of organisms a certain environment can sustain. If the number of organisms exceeds carrying capacity the resources in the environment will be depleted resulting in a carrying capacity drop followed by a drop in the population of organisms.

∙ 13y agoCarrying Capacity is the limit that a population in an area can reach. When this limit is reached the resources of the population will not be sustainable.
Less resources = less resources per person.
Worst case scenario is a population decreases sharply due to deaths resulting from not enough resources to sustain the population
