population density
The name given to the largest population than an environment can support is called it's 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.

The population levels off at the carrying capacity.
The population has not yet reached the carrying capacity.-apex :D
Carrying Capacity:-).
I'm sorry, but the weight of that piece of machinery is beyond my trailer's carrying capacity.
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.
