Shortage of food
Increased predation by natural enemies, such as hawks or bobcats, is likely to reduce the carrying capacity of a squirrel population in a forest. By preying on squirrels, these natural enemies can limit their numbers and prevent overpopulation.
Shortage of food
: High rains increase the water supply.
An increase in resources or a decrease in predators would likely contribute to a population exceeding its carrying capacity. This could lead to a rapid population growth that outstrips the available resources, causing stress on the ecosystem and potentially a population crash.
Resources such as water, food, or sunlight are most likely to be limiting factors when a population is approaching the carrying capacity.
Populations showing exponential growth will either eventually level off or they will exceed their carrying capacity for their environment and there will be a dramatic crash in the population.
Events like natural disasters, habitat destruction, depletion of resources, and disease outbreaks are likely to contribute to lowering the carrying capacity of a population. These events can reduce the availability of food, water, shelter, and other necessary resources for the population, leading to a decline in the population's ability to sustain itself at previous levels.
if the limited factors changes than the deer populations will increase and will have a more impact on wolves.The wolves will be more as compare to deer and will feed on deer .If there are less deer the wolves will die out of starvation or will go to some other place to get food .plants will saved by overgrazing and there will no balance in nature.
