Conservationists establish that the carrying capacity of a population of deer in an extensive geographical area is 945. the current population of deer is 1,100. what is likely to happen to the population of deer? a. the growth pattern will change from logistic to exponential. b. the minimal viable population for the deer will increase. c. deer from other populations will immigrate to find mates to reproduce successfully. d. the population will remain healthy, and its numbers will increase. the population size will drop until the numbers reach the carrying capacity.

E. The population size will drop until the numbers reach the carrying capacity.

A carrying capacity of the ecosystem is the number of individuals in the population of species a ecosystem can sustain on the basis of availability of resources (food, shelter). Conservationists established that the carrying capacity of a population of deer in an extensive geographical area is 945 which increased to 1,100. This sudden increase in the population of deer, will result in depletion of resources, hence, carrying capacity of the ecosystem cannot sustain increased members of the population. Therefore, the population size will drop until the numbers reach the carrying capacity.

well, that's easy; the answer's c, "it reduces contamination of the water and substrate of the estuary."

primary succession occurs in essentially lifeless areas regions in which the soil is incapable of sustaining life as a result of such factors as lava flows, newly formed sand dunes, or rocks left from a retreating glacier. secondary succession occurs
