Hello!

Carrying capacity, in biology, is the mps (maximum population size) of the species that the environment is able to take care of. The environment should be able to give food, habitat, and water, and other necessities needed for the certain animal species. If there are to many of the species, the environment may not be able to care for all animals, due to the fact that there will not be enough resources for all of the animals.

Hope this helps, have an awesome day/night! :)
