The given statement is False.

The total number of species an ecosystem can support is known as its carrying capacity.

The average density of a population or the population size of a species below which its numbers seem to enhance and above which its numbers seem to get decline due to a shortage of resources is known as the species carrying capacity.

It can also be stated as the maximum number of individuals in a given population, which the resources of a particular region can sustain indefinitely without substantially degrading or depleting those resources.
