When population overshoots the capacity may result?
a population crash
What are the phases of logistic growth curve?
There are three phases in a logistic growth curve:1 - Lag phase: the initial stage on which population growth rates are slow as a result of a small population size (occurs when the population is small and is increasing slowly)2- Log phase: The stage in which population growth rates are very rapid (occurs when the population undergoes very rapid growth)3- Stationary phase: The phase in which population growth rates decrease as the population size reaches the carrying capacity and stabilizes (occurs at or close to the carrying capacity of the environment)HOPE THIS HELPS :D
If humans remove carnivorous predators from an ecosystem what will probably be the first observable result?
Certain herbivores will exceed carrying capacity.
What three factors are multiplied to give total environmental impact?
I=PAT Impact on the environment is equal to Population multiplied by Affluence multiplied by Technology. This formula is basically what we use to determine human carrying capacity, but don't get too excited since the figures for all of these factors always change it is impossible to tell human carrying capacity. When we all stop affluence and technology is based on a cultural change we increase the planets carrying capacity. When we stop manufacturing children thinking that more kids are better we also ensure that their children can survive. When technology stops advancing to pollute and destroy for the result of money we lower that part of the equation as well.
Compare exponential growth with logistic growth?
Exponential growth occurs when numbers increase by a certain factor in each successive time period. Logistic growth is population growth that starts with a minimum number of individuals and reaches a maximum depending on the carrying capacity of the habitat. In exponential growth population grows slowly when it's small, but as the population gets larger, growth speeds up. In logistic growth, when the population is small, the growth rate is fast because there are plenty of natural resources. (Logistic) As the population approaches the carrying capacity, resources become scarce. Completion for food, shelter and mates increases between individuals of a population. As a result, the growth rate slows. Exponential growth, grows fast in the beginning and then slows down. Logistic growth grows slow in the beginning and then speeds up.
There is a carrying capacity for humans?
No, I don't think there is a carrying capacity for humans. Humans, like all organisms, can only sustain themselves and their populations by having access to the products and services of their environment, including those of other species and ecosystems. However, humans are clever at developing and using technologies; as a result they have an unparalleled ability to manipulate the carrying capacity of the environment in support of their own activities.
What was the result of Arab traders reaching imperial china?
Totally bitchen' silks
A marked decrease in red blood cells hemoblobin andor hermatocrit could result in what diagnosis?
Anemia is the condition of low red blood cell count or low hemoglobin. Anemia results in decreased oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.
What is the result when two plates is carrying the continental crust collide?
haha
What is the S curve when comparing biotic potenial and carring capacity?
The S curve represents the result of environmental resistance. The research compares the population size to the time in which it took for environment to be effected.
