when a population has their carrying capacity what occurs with the number of birth and death​

Respuesta :

When A population has their carrying capacity the number of births equals number of death.

Explanation:

  • Carrying capacity of a population is defined as the maximum number of individuals of that population the ecosystem can support.
  • If a population reaches its carrying capacity then no more individuals can be accommodated in that ecosystem.
  • Thus theoretically the number of deaths must equal the number of births to maintain a balance in the ecosystem
  • However, in practical it is often observed that the number of deaths exceeds the number of births when the population nears the carrying capacity as the selection pressure increases..
