Carry capacity is defined as the maximum population size of a species that an environment can sustain indefinitely. It is also defined as the environment's maximal load of a species. Factors that impact on the carrying capacity of a species are the availability of food and water, raw materials to build shelter, the environment's ability to process waste products, as well as the species' ability to reproduce.
