Variable.
I don't think its cheese. But I do think its Carrying capacity.
Carrying capacity is the term used to describe the greatest number of individuals within a population that an ecosystem can sustain over the long term. It represents the maximum population size that an environment can support given the available resources. When a population exceeds the carrying capacity, it can lead to environmental degradation and a decline in resources, which can in turn lead to population decline.

In a specific ecosystem, the population with the greatest number of members will typically be the primary producers, such as plants or phytoplankton. These organisms form the base of the food chain and support larger populations of herbivores and predators. The abundance of primary producers provides energy and resources for other organisms to thrive.
Carrying capacity. It refers to the maximum number of individuals that an environment can sustainably support without damaging the ecosystem or depleting its resources.
The maximum size that a population can reach in an ecosystem is called the carrying capacity. This represents the maximum number of individuals of a species that the ecosystem can support over the long term, taking into account available resources and environmental conditions. When a population exceeds the carrying capacity, it can lead to competition for resources, which may result in a decline in population size.

Carrying capacity.
In a health ecosystem, organisms at the bottom of the food chain, such as plants and plankton, are likely to have the highest population because they form the base of the ecosystem and support higher trophic levels. Organisms at the top of the food chain, such as predators or apex predators, would have the lowest population as they typically have fewer individuals due to their position in the food web.
