Carrying capacity

• the maximum population growth rate under ideal conditions

• the change in the population size per individual per unit time

• the maximum population size that can be supported by an ecosystem.

• the members of a species that live in an ecosystem and have the potential to reproduce.

Succession that occurs in an area with no soil

• ecological succession

• primary succession

• secondary succession

• pioneer species

As a population grows, it will most likely stop growing at what size?

• Growth limit
• Exponential limit
• Carrying Capacity
• It won't stop growing

The carrying capacity of an environment for a particular species at a particular time is determined by the

• number of individuals in the species.
• distribution of the population.
• reproductive potential of the species.
• supply of the most limited resources
