9.2 SG Flashcards
B+I = D+E
no growth
B+I < D+E
negative growth
B+I > D+E
positve growth
r
maximum per capita rate of growth per individual
calculating r
(births - deaths)/original size of population
exponential growths
used for ideal environment, growth without limiting factors
calculating exponential growth
dN/dt=rN
N
population size
dN/dt
population growth rate (change in number/change in time)
k
carrying capacity
carrying capacity
maximum population size that the environment can support with no degration of habitat
logistic rate or growth
dN/dt = rN(K-N)/K
maximum sustainable yield
at 1/2 K the slope of the logistic curve has an inflection point (most growth per population size)
as N gets closer to k
the death rates increase and/or the birth rate decreases
density dependent limiting factor
impacts only when denisty is dense
density independent limiting factor
does not matter if density is dense or not, it will impact the environment either way
