The Carrying Capacity is the largest number of individuals of one species that an ecosystem can support. In all populations, there are factors that limit or restrict the number of individuals in a population. These are called Limiting Factors. Limiting factors include things like food, water, shelter, mates, nesting materials, etc. If a population goes above its carrying capacity, some individuals will die.
