Question
the maximum number of wolves that can survive in a particular forest is 230. what is this number called?
carrying capacity
logistic factor
limiting factor
limit capacity
The carrying capacity is the maximum number of individuals of a species that an environment can sustain indefinitely. In this case, 230 is the maximum number of wolves the forest can support, which is the definition of carrying capacity. There is no such term as "logistic factor" in this context, and a limiting factor is something that restricts population growth rather than the maximum - population number. Also, "limit capacity" is not a standard ecological term.
