NGSS.MS-LS2-1

When a population becomes larger than the environment's carrying capacity

• Die-off

• Overshoot

• Extinction

• Growth rate

This type of species has a low population growth rate and takes a long time to reach carrying capacity

• K-selected species

• R-selected species

This type of species has a high growth rate and often leads to population overshoot
