The estimated carrying capacity is approximately 188 thousand. The population may have decreased during day three because of increased pressure from a limiting factor, such as unfavorable temperature. B. The estimated carrying capacity is approximately 188 thousand. The population may have decreased during day three because of decreased pressure from limiting factors, such as more food being available. C. The estimated carrying capacity is approximately 167 thousand.
