How does increasing the size of the habitat affect carrying capacity? explain your answer. recall the scenarios: 0-15, little land, 15-30 years, moderate land; 30-45 years, ample land.

The maximum number of a particular kind of species that a habitat can hold is termed as the carrying capacity of that place. The carrying capacity depends on the availability of resources present in an area. If the population of a species goes beyond the carrying capacity, then the organisms will compete for food and other resources.

When the size of a habitat is increased, the carrying capacity will increase. This is because there will be more space and resources to feed more species. As there will be more resources, even the growth of plants will be more in that area.
