The total number of organisms an ecosystem can support is its tolerance range. True or False?

Asked by diegottorres1081

Answer (1)

The statement is false; the total number of organisms an ecosystem can support refers to the carrying capacity, not the tolerance range. Carrying capacity is the maximum sustainable population, while tolerance range involves the environmental conditions a species can withstand. Understanding these concepts is essential for ecology and conservation. ;
