a population crash
When a population overshoots its carrying capacity, resources become scarce, leading to increased competition for food, water, and other necessities. This can result in a decline in population due to inability to sustain itself at the higher numbers. It may also lead to environmental degradation and imbalance in ecosystems.
When a population overshoots carrying capacity, there is usually a decline in resources leading to increased competition, which can result in high mortality rates, decreased birth rates, and emigration. As the population recovers and stabilizes, there is typically a period of slow growth as individuals compete for resources, which eventually leads to a balance between available resources and population size.

The carrying capacity affects k-strategists because their population reaches equilibrium at the carrying capacity and they experience a carrying capacity that changes little from year to year.
A growth limiting substrate is a nutrient or resource that is in limited supply and restricts the growth of a population or organism when it becomes scarce. The availability of this substrate determines the carrying capacity of a population in an ecosystem. Examples include nutrients like nitrogen or phosphorus in aquatic environments.
The number of organisms a piece of land can support is determined by its carrying capacity, which is the maximum population size that an environment can sustain. Factors like availability of resources, competition, predation, and environmental conditions all influence the carrying capacity of a particular habitat. When a population exceeds the carrying capacity, it can lead to resource depletion and ecosystem degradation.
