The reading passages discusses the term Carrying capacity in the ecology class. It states That a organisms is supported when the environment has sufficient resources for that to grow. The professor supports this concept of Carrying capacity and adds extended example to better understand it.
To begin with, the professor explains the concept with example of wolf population in the Big Horn Forest. He states that twenty years back the rabbits were living in large number as their was enough available resouces for them. However, the wolf numbers were comparatively less. This very well follows the concept of the reading passage.
Further, ten years down the line the wolf population increased substantially due to the easy available of food, where as the rabbit population declined in large numbers as there are hunted down by wolves. This information in the lecture hold good with information provided in the reading passage that, abundant resources helps the growth of the population.
Finally in the five years the wolf population came down, because of lack of food. some even moved to other areas. but the rabbit population which was declined saw some revival and started to grow rapidly. This is because of more available of grass and other vegetation.
The professor finishes by stating that, when the population of one group of animal raises it leads to the fall of the other group of animal and viceversa. The statement from the reading passage, "This in turn continually account for raising and falling carrying capacity over the long term", holds good .
The reading passage presents some information about the
definiton of carrying capacity and gives details about this term. The lecturer supports the arguments given by
reading passage and illustrates them with one example.
To begin with, the lecturer gave an example about the wolves
and rabbits that are living in a forest and compared their numbers chronologically
also wth respect to carrying capacity. He stated that 20 years ago, when the
number of wolves in the forest were dramatically low, there were an abundant
number of rabbits. During 10 years, while the number of wolves increased to
highest numbers, the amount of rabbits decreased until their lowest number ever.
In that time, the number of wolves equated with the carrying capacity of wolves
so that wolves in the forest either left their living environment or died
because of famine. Hence, the amount of rabbits increased again until they reach
their carrying capacity. To sum up, the lecturer stated that carrying capacity
determines the exact number of a specie can form. These arguments made by the
lecturer truly agrees with the reading passage, since in reading passage it is
asserted that carrying capacity means the maximum of number of a specie can
involve in a place and it determines how this number will fluctuate.
The reading passage explains the concept of carrying capacity, which is the ability of nature to maintain the number of organisms by increasing or decreasing the amount of resources in an environment. The professor presents an example of the carrying capacity with the population of wolves and rabbits in the Big Horn Forest to help the better understanding.
Firstly, the professor begins with the time when the number of rabbits were massive, but that of wolves were relatively small in the Big Horn Forest 20 years ago. However, according to the lecture, as the population of wolves grew, the number of rabbits decreased after 10 years because the rabbits were the major prays for the wolves in the forest. This supports the first point of the reading passage that all living organisms in an environment gain their neccessities from their surroundings.
Moreover, the reading passage states that with carrying capacity, an environment always manage the excess number of organisms. As the professor states, this is also supported by his example that as the number of wolves reached the highest point after 10 years, whereas that of rabbits extremely dropped, this phenomenon occurred in a reverse way. In short, the population of rabbits returned not only because of the less wolves but also because of the more food available.-soulin

The reading passage talks about carrying capacity in the ecosystem. The lecture provides an example about wolf population of big-horn forest to support these arguments.
To begin with, the lecture says that when the rabbit population that is the primary source of food for the wolf is increase. The wolf will move back to the forest. Also, in the case of rabbit, if the forest has a lot of plants that rabbits can use them to be food, the rabbits will move back to the forest again. This is a good example that support the idea of the reading passage that if the living resources in the environment were more increasingly, they would permit for a variable number of organisms in the environment that have to be supported.
The professor also states that when there are a lot of rabbits that is the main source of food for the wolf in the forest. The population of wolf will rise because a lot of food in the forest. Also, for the rabbit population, when the rabbits are gone from the forest, some plants that are the food of rabbit have a chance to grow up and increasing. This factor can help the rabbit population will increase in the future since there are a lot of rabbit’s food in the forest. This example can support the claims in the article that if the resources in the forest are naturally abundant, the population of animal that uses these resources will be rise.
The article finishes by saying that when the number of living more than the number of carrying capacity, that living will be dead or have to move out from the environment. The professor provides an example to agree with this point that wolf will be dead or move out from the forest, when the numbers of the rabbits that are used to be food for the wolf in the forest are decreased.
The passage here presents the term of Carrying Capacity, that is the threshold a particular organism can increase to in an environment based on the resources available. The lecturer reinforces the passage providing particular examples.
First of all, the lecturer presents a case study on the population of wolves and rabbits at Big Horn forest for wolves. He begins by saying that many years ago the population of wolves was very low but the population of rabbits was at a very high level. With the rabbits being a rich food source for wolves, the wolves' population started rising. This statement comes to agreement with the passage that provided abundant food,water and shelter a population can prosper.
The lecturer, however, points out that 10 years later, this increase came to an end, with the population of rabbits having greatly decreased, thus the factor of food abundant was not active for the wolves. In this way, the population of the wolves breached the carrying capacity and started decreasing again, with some wolves dying and others leaving. Again, this fact comes to terms with the passage present the perish of an organism which the carrying capacity is breached.
To end with, the lecturer states that although the population of the wolves started perishing, the population of the rabbits started increasing again due to the abundance of food (grass and bushes). This supports the idea of an endless cycle of rising and falling carrying capacity stated in the passage.
The reading passage presents some information about the concept of carrying capacity. The professor supports these ideas and adds more details.
The professor begins by illustrating the general theory of the reading passage with a concrete example about the wolves’ population. He tells that 20 years ago, the rabbit population in the forests was huge, but there were just few wolves. So the possible capacity of wolves that can live in the forest was not completely reached, because there was more food available. With the time, the number of wolves became bigger and bigger, whereas the number of rabbits became smaller. This supports the reading passage that in an environment of too much food, the number of an organism will increase.
The reading passage states further, that when the amount of an organism exceeds the capacity of the environment, it will drop. This information concurs with the assertion of the professor. He states that from the moment of not having enough food, the wolves were starving. This leads to the result that the number of rabbits increased again. So the concept of carrying capacity can be compared to a wave. When there is more capacity, the number of an organism will increase; when there is less capacity, the number will drop. This general fact is supported both by the reading and the listening passage.

The reading passage states that the carrying capacity is the
term used by ecologist to describe the supporting life in environment for other
living species or animal. The professor explains this idea in the reading
passage by giving the increasing and decreasing number of woft and rabit.
To begin with, the professor points out that in the last 20
years ago rabit population was enourmous. When they first release some woft to
forest, the number of rabit have decrease gradually. Rabits become good food
source for woft. This support the theory of Carrying Capacity, which mention
that when the good natural resources are the good reason for exapanding the
number of other species or animal.
The preofessor also claims that 10 years later rabbit
population decreased because they were food for woft. When woft population
increased reaching the peak of Carrying Capacity, then they are starving,
because good food resources, rabit, was not abundant as the the last 10 years
therefore the number of woft later decreasing.
The professor finally points out that the number of rabit
increasing 5 years later, beucase woft were starving in the past years, rabit
had opportunity to grow in forest again. He finally says that the process of
carring capacity will likely continue like this.

The lecture and the reading passages present the issue of carrying capacity.
The lecture explain that the survive of one part of animal in the forest depend automatically to an other part of animal because of limited capacity of the forest.
The professor is utilizing an example to verify the specific points mentioned in the reading passage.
First of all, the professor brings an example with wolfs and rabbits. According to a statistic the were a lot of rabbits twenty years before. He mentions that for these mount of rabbits weren’t enough food like grass in the forest, so the population grew down. This description supports the reading passage which asserted “the number of organism is based on available resources”.
Secondly, ten years later there where less wolfs because of the sinking population of rabbits, which is a food resource for the wolfs. Again this confirms with the reading passage that describes the variable quantity of available food.
Thirdly, another 5 years later there were again more rabbits. The grass could grow up in the time of rabbit rarity and so the rabbits increased their population.
Finally, the view of population rate, the development between the different population densities to other and the dependence of a population to food capacity are the most important points which support and lead on the information states in the reading passage.
The reading passage presents the information about the carrying capacity of an organism and how it affects to the population and the environment. The lecturer ideally supports the reading article by presenting a specific example of rabbit and wolf in the forest and it's relationship to carrying capacity.
To begin with, the lecturer points out that a certain organism needs the basic necessities in life in order to survive. He then supports by giving an illustration of two animals that 20 years ago, rabbits had increased the population while the number of wolves starting to slow down. Eventually, the rabbits became the basic source of food for the wolves in the forest. The reading passage supports the idea presented in the lecture because it clearly stated in the article that in order to survive an animal needs water, food and shelter.
In addition, the professor relates that after 10 years, the number of rabbit goes down while the wolves rise dramatically due to the effect of carrying capacity. As a result, rabbits became scarce in the forest and the wolves run out of food. Thus, these animals had prompted to leave the area. The reading passage asserted that carrying capacity of an animal affects the basic needs if there is a decrease of food resources in an environment, they need to leave or die.
Finally, the professor finishes by asserting that due to lack of rabbits in the environment, the plants grow tremendously and thus the carrying capacity of the rabbits has increased gradually due to the result of the presence of food provided for the rabbits. The example presented in the lecture clearly accounts for the on going variation of carrying capacity over a long period of time.
The professor is drawing on example of wolves and rabbits to explain the term carrying capacity mentioned in the reading passage.
To start with, the speaker says that twenty years ago the number of rabbits was huge if compared to the number of wolves. Since rabbits represent a source of food to the wolves, their population declined remarkably. On the other hand the number of wolves increased significantly beyond the carrying capacity. This supports the argument in the reading passage that when sources of food, water, and shelter are plentiful some organisms thrive.
In addition to that, the teacher asserts that after ten years and due to the lack of rabbits, wolves either left the forest or starved to death and the grass grew in huge amounts in the forest. This caused the wolves’ number to fall, which in turn led to elevation in the rabbits’ population. This statement concurs with the point made in the text that the carrying capacity causes a fluctuation in the animals’ numbers that live in an ecological system according to the availability of the basic elements that are necessary for living
