Answer:

carrying capacity

Step-by-step explanation:

Thus, the carrying capacity is the maximum number of individuals of a species that an environment can support. Population size decreases above carrying capacity due to a range of factors depending on the species concerned, but can include insufficient space, food supply, or sunlight.
