In biology and environmental science, the carrying capacity of a biological species in a particular habitat refers to the maximum number of individuals (of that species) that the environment can carry and sustain, considering its geography or physical features. In ecology, carrying capacity is ...
car·ry·ing capacity (kăr′ē-ĭng) n. 1.The maximum number of persons or things that a vehicle or a receptacle can carry:a van with a carrying capacity of 12. 2.EcologyThe maximum number of individuals of a given species that the resources available in a given environment can sust...
We found that while carrying capacity offers some underlying commonalities, a wide range of definitions and approaches hinders a unified framework to better understand biotic ecosystem interactions. Not surprisingly, theses studies most often use K—the number of individuals that the environment "can ...
The meaning of CARRYING CAPACITY is the maximum population (as of deer) that an area will support without undergoing deterioration.

Science Environment carrying capacity and exponential versus logistic population growth In an ideal environment (one that has no limiting factors) populations grow at an exponential rate. The growth curve of these populations is smooth and becomes increasingly steep over time (left). However, for ...
stage 2, this was due to advances in health care causing the life expectancy to increase. By studying the population, demographers are able to predict what will happen in the future, including the predicted number of people that will be in the population or the carrying capacity of the ...
The carrying capacity of large dimension four-point ball bearings depends also on the actual carrying angle which is a function of the nominal carrying angle, the actual play, the shift direction of raceway centre (required to assure the necessary play), osculation, the elasticity of supporting ...
