Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Carrying capacity may change as environmental conditions change due to factors such as resource availability, natural disasters, and human activities. It is not always constant over time and cannot be accurately calculated using the logistic model alone. The per capita growth rate decreasing would indicate approaching the carrying capacity rather than an increase in it.
