The largest population size that can be supported in an area without harming the environment is referred to as what?
population density
population shift
containing capacity
carrying capacity
At what population size does growth start to slow in the logistic model of growth? That depends on the population’s carrying capacity (see Figure above ). The carrying capacity (K) is the largest population size that can be supported in an area without harming the environment. Population growth hits a ceiling at that size in the logistic growth model.
