size of area -> smaller area = more management flow of energy = circle of life/food chain : sun > plants > herbivorous animals > carnivores. Between 10 and 20% of energy is transfered between 2 levels. carrying capacity = cannot work out carrying capacity with an equation. this is due to there being different conditions such as climate and terrain. need a different assesment for each branch. "optimum carrying capacity can be increased for a given game species by veld management and other forms of habitat maniputlation." pg 7 having said this, there is a ceiling to how many animals can be in an area before their social behaviour takes over.
