In demographics, the rate of natural increase (RNI) is the crude birth rate minus the crude death rate of a population. 
The carrying capacity of a biological species in an environment is the maximum population size of the species that the environment can sustain indefinitely, given the food, habitat, water and other necessities available in the environment.
