If a population has not reached its carrying capacity, it will continue to grow and expand. Resources will be plentiful and competition for food, water, and space will be minimal. This can lead to rapid population growth until the carrying capacity is reached.
starvation increases to the point where this population is maintained.
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.
The population levels off at the carrying capacity.

Carrying capacity is the maximum number of individuals that an environment can sustainably support. If a population exceeds the carrying capacity of its environment, resources like food, water, and shelter become limited, leading to competition, scarcity, and population decline through factors like starvation, disease, or migration.
