Question

determining carrying capacity
according to the graph on the right, what is the
approximate carrying capacity of the white - tailed
deer population?
100,000 deer
300,000 deer
600,000 deer
done

Explanation:

Carrying capacity is the maximum population size of a species that an environment can sustain. In population - growth graphs, it is often represented by the upper - limit value that the population tends to stabilize around (even if there are some fluctuations). Looking at the y - axis of the "White - tailed Deer Population" graph (which is in hundreds of thousands), the value that the population seems to be approaching (as per the general trend of population growth concepts related to carrying capacity) is 600,000 deer.

Answer:

600,000 deer
