What would happen if carrying capacity suddenly decreased?
The population would decrease. APEX ...
What might happen when a population grows larger than the carrying capacity of the land?

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.
When the exponential phase of a logistic growth curve of a population ceases what happen to population growth?
population growth begins to slow down
What must happen if a population grows larger than the carrying capacity?
There isn't enough food, things die from starvation, then the whole food chain gets messed up and everyone dies.
Why population growth rapid after war?
because it did happen
What would happen if the population grows larger tan the carrying capacity?
Generally, if the population of a species is larger than the area can support, animals migrate to other locations, die of starvation, disease etc. until the population decreases to a sustainable level. Unfortunately, if the over population problem depletes the environment enough the sustainable level drop from what it was before the over population problem occurred.
What happens if the carrying capacity is exceeded?
It will likely descend into warfare as happened on Easter Island, and savagery will continue until the population drops below whatever remains of the carrying capacity. However, the warfare may also diminish both the human resources and Natural Resources and infrastructure to the point that no meaningful recovery is possible. Think TSE's "not with a bang, but a whimper".
What would happen to a population of organisms that had unlimited food to eat and unlimited space in which to grow?
Exponential growth
What will happen when th human population exceeds the earth's carrying capacity?
It will likely descend into warfare as happened on Easter Island, and savagery will continue until the population drops below whatever remains of the carrying capacity. However, the warfare may also diminish both the human resources and natural resources and infrastructure to the point that no meaningful recovery is possible. Think TSE's "not with a bang, but a whimper".
