Explain the concept of "Carrying Capacity" by citing examples.
The concept of carrying capacity refers to the maximum number of individuals
that a particular habitat can carry and sustain. This can be portrayed by this
example: the Irish Potato Famine. Between 1845 and 1849 a disease called potato
blight infected potato crops throughout Europe and mass starvation, disease, and
emigration beset Ireland. As a result of the massive loss in the country’s staple crop,
the carrying capacity of Ireland severely dropped – it couldn’t support as many people
as it once had (Rios, 2019).
Another example is about the North American Deer. Before North America was
colonized by Europeans, the North American Deer population was kept in check by
wolves. Once settlers arrived they began to recognize wolves as a nuisance and
danger to their communities so hunted the animals, and wolf populations were
severely decreased. As a result of the loss of their main predator, the deer population
began to boom. Deer feed on all sorts of plants, trees, shrubs, flowers, and grass, and
require large quantities of such vegetation to sustain themselves. Eventually, deer
began to starve because their large numbers depleted their main source of food; they
had reached their carrying capacity (Rios, 2019).
