What does N stand for?
Represents population size
What does t stand for?
represents time
What does dN/dt stand for?
Represents population growth rate
What does N0 stand for?
initial population size
What does r stand for?
represents that maximum per Capita growth rate
What is density-dependent?
It will only have a major impact impact on growth as population gets more dense. (tends to be biotic)
What is density-independent?
This factor can have a major impact on growth no matter what the density is.
Is population growth higher or lower in Logistic growth?
Lower
Is population growth higher or lower in Exponential Growth?
Higher
In Logistic growth or exponential growth if N0 is higher then what happens to the population growth?
The population growth goes higher.
