Want this question answered?
Every ecosystem has a carrying capacity, which is the maximum number of organisms that particular ecosystem can sustain for an indefinite period of time. The precise number of organisms varies with the ecosystem, for example a rain-forest could sustain more animals that a desert of the same size, though it's really hard to predict an exact number. The number of organisms living in an ecosystem will constantly change due to death, birth, immigration and emigration, so the number of animals living in an ecosystem can shift higher or lower than the maximum carrying capacity. Although, generally, if it is higher than the carrying capacity, animals will either die as the ecosystem cannot support them, or emigrate to somewhere new, depending on the habits of that particular organism. Hope this helps!

Carrying Capacity
it can be A)The ecosystem will not be able to support as many tertiary consumers. B)It will decrease the amount of energy transferred to higher trophic levels. C)The ecosystem will be able to support more organisms at higher trophic levels.Eliminate D)The ecosystem will become stagnant due to excess producers and organisms in higher trophic levels will die out.
If there was no such thing as decomposition in a forest ecosystem, then the forest floor would fill up with dead bodies and trees. This would decrease the carrying capacity of the forest, or, in other words cause the living populations to decrease. There would be little room for the trees to survive, and there would be less habitat space for the animal populations, and little to no space for any sort of succession (succession is the process in which a destroyed environment so to speak grows back.) Also, the nutrients released from the decomposed compounds help fuel the trees which produce oxygen. Without these nutrients, there would be even less of a tree population. Long story short, without the force of decomposition in a forest ecosystem, it would, on the long run be challenging for the ecosystem to support life.

The "definition" of "carrying" capacity in the animal world is: "The maxium population of a given species that an ecosystem can support without being degraded or destroyed in the long run. The carrying capacity may be exceeded, but not without lessening the system`s ability to support life in the long term." This answer was taken out of a college text book on Environmental Science By: Richard T. Wright I hope this helps explain your question. Good Luck!
Diversity is the key to any healthy ecosystem. Its like a mutual fund, the more varied your portfolio, the better it will do in the long run.
Well that depends on how long of a time frame. With the population now, the US cannot handle this many people for a long amount of time, as any country in the world cannot. Resources will start to run out.
Over-fishing does not simply reduce the population and future population of a species. It can also result in overpopulation of the organisms on which they feed, and changes to the species that feed on them. In some cases, there are opportunistic species that take advantage of the reduced numbers of a given species, and these invaders may cause further harm to the ecosystem, and to the human activities that depend on the ecosystem.

What are the long term effects [of what, exactly?] on the ecosystem and animals? Please be more specific.
An undisturbed ecosystem is an ecosystem that no one has been in for a very long time.
