If a field can sustain ten sheep, and the farmer puts twenty sheep in the field, overgrazing and starvation will quickly ensue. So a habitat that becomes overcrowded could fail and, in extreme cases, turn to desert.

What happen when a population reach its carrying capacity?

Ideally a population at its carrying capacity is stable, there is enough for all to survive. The system is usually slightly underdamped and the population will vary between just over its carrying capacity where some individuals suffer and under its capacity where there is a surplus. If the system is severely under damped there are extreme swings in the population. A typical example is the relation between Arctic hares and foxes.


A population is at the carrying capacity for its environment What would happen if the carrying capacity suddenly decreased?

If the carrying capacity suddenly decreased, you could probably expect the amount of organisms within the ecosystem to decrease as well. (There is a decreased amount of room/resources for the organisms, causing the quantity of organisms to decrease as well.) hope that helps :)

If an ecosystem decreases in space what will happen to competition?

In population biology, carrying capacity is defined as the environment's maximal load which is different from the concept of population equilibrium.Hence, if an ecosystem decreases in space, competition will also decrease.
