Every ecosystem have a limit to the number of organisms that it can support without any complications. This highest number of the organisms which an ecosystem can support is known as its carrying capacity. It is the total number of the members of a population the ecosystem can support for an indefinite period of time by providing habitat, food and water along with the other necessaties.

Hence, the answer is 'carrying capacity'.
