The carrying capacity of a wildlife reserve is 570 individuals for a particular species of rodents. If the area of the reserve is extended, the carrying capacity is likely to. During the summer, a fatal disease began killing individuals. The carrying capacity of the reserve will therefore.

The carrying capacity of any individual biological species is the maximum size of the population which can sustain indefinitely in that environment provided the necessary requirements like food, water and other environmental conditions are available.
