context: Carrying capacity is the number of specimens of a given species that can be sustained by an environment. Usually the carrying capacity is achieved at some point because the species naturally have a tendency to reproduce. For example, if a pond feeds on 100 fish, the pond has a carrying capacity of 100 fish populations. At the moment, it is not certain how many people the planet can support, but it has been claimed that the human population on Earth has already exceeded its carrying capacity.
