Environment & Ecology / ecosystems
English term or phrase: compliment of species
It is taken from this sentence in an article about the loss of natural habitats:
"Degraded habitats are less likely to be able to support their full compliment of species"

I understand what it means but I can't find an appropriate translation into Spanish.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
