Answer:
An increase in available resources will decrease the carrying capacity of a local environment. And an increase in resources will do the opposite by allowing for a greater carrying capacity.
Step-by-step explanation:
Carrying capacity is the number of organisms that an area can support without degradation. Let us say there's a pond that has x amount of water (1,000,000 gallons) and its maximum carrying capacity is with z amount of organisms (5 elephants, 10 crocodiles, 35 antelopes) and this pond is at maximum balance.
But if too many of one or multiple species are now in the picture then the balance for water (available resource) is strained then causing strain on organisms. Let us say way too many elephants usedc up a bunch of water then there would be less for the crocs and antelopes leading to migration and or death (the strain of a species).
If there are excess resources species tend to fill that void and reproduce more to biologically increase species population (survival of the fittest).
