Both the populations and the carrying capacity will decrease  in the remaining forest area.

  • If the population exceeds carrying capacity, the ecosystem may became unsuitable for the species and there number will decrease eventually.

What is carrying capacity?

  • It can be defined as a species average population size in a particular habitat.
