Carrying capacity is determined by limiting factors.

Answer:

The carrying capacity of a population can be determined by the limiting factors of the population.

Explanation:

Carrying capacity may be defined as the the maximum population of size that can be sustained by the environment. The population size increases below the carrying capacity and after passing the carrying capacity,the size of a population starts decreasing.

The abundance of food, area and other resources in the environments allows the population to grow up to its carrying capacity. The limitation of area, food, competition and other limiting factors in the environment reduces the carrying capacity of the population.

Thus, limiting factors determines the carrying capacity of the population.
