Populations Day 4 Predator Prey Relationship

The population has reached the carrying capacity of the environment.

The population has exceeded the carrying capacity of the environment.

The population is affected by a density-independent limiting factor.

The population is no longer able to adapt to environmental changes.

Density Independent limiting factors start to occur resulting in the population going farther above carrying capacity.

Density Dependent limiting factors start to occur resulting in the population going back below carrying capacity.

The population will go extinct due to lack of resources

The population grows then finds a new carrying capacity
