Want this question answered?
individuals an ecosystem can support.
The number of links in a food chain is ultimately limited by the amount of energy in the producers of the particular ecosystem.
There are rain forests, Savannas, and deserts that are all tropical and all of those are different.
No. The number of a species supported by and ecosystem depends on how much food is available in the ecosystem. If the population (squirrels) exceeds the food supply then some of the population will die. Predators are a factor in controlling population size.
It all depends on the number of producers, how many consumers there are. In a desert there are may be only a hundred but in a tropical rain forest there are millions.

i have no clue because that is what my question was :)

The Lost of potential energy.
an ecosystem can only support a certain amount of animals at one time because; 1.some animals may be going to go extinct. 2. if animals eat all the food there wont be any other food left for any other animals to eat and those animals may die. 3. some organisms may be consumers and eat/ hurt the other animals in the ecosystem/ area around them.
i dont know cause that was my question (:
Variable.

There are a number of different types of species of organisms in an ecosystem in order for it to be functional and stable. Different organisms add species diversity which increases the stability of the ecosystem. Eg. the ecosystem such as a forest can quickly regenerate after a natural disturbance such as a fire.
