Previous Image | Next Image
Description: - Limiting factors = physical, chemical and biological characteristics that restrain population growth
- Water, space, food, predators, and disease
- Environmental resistance = All limiting factors taken together
- Carrying capacity = the maximum population size of a species that its environment can sustain
- An S-shaped logistic growth curve
- Limiting factors slow and stop exponential growth
- Carrying capacity changes

Humans have raised their carrying capacity by decreasing the carrying capacity for other species
