What is a characteristic of densely populated land?

Answer 1

Populations have a Birth Rate (the number of young produced per unit of population per unit of time), a Death Rate (the number of deaths per unit of time), and a growth rate. The major agent of population growth is births, and the major agent of population loss is deaths. When births exceed deaths, a population increases; and when deaths exceed additions to a population, it decreases. When births equal deaths in a given population, its size remains the same, and it is said to have zero population growth.

When introduced into a favorable environment with an abundance of resources, a small population may undergo geometric, or exponential growth, in the manner of compound interest. Many populations experience exponential growth in the early stages of colonizing a habitat because they take over an underexploited niche or drive other populations out of a profitable one. Those populations that continue to grow exponentially, however, eventually reach the upper limits of the resources; they then decline sharply because of some catastrophic event such as starvation, disease, or competition from other species. In a general way, populations of plants and animals that characteristically experience cycles of exponential growth are species that produce numerous young, provide little in the way of parental care, or produce an abundance of seeds having little food reserves. These species, usually short-lived, disperse rapidly and are able to colonize harsh or disturbed environments. Such organisms are often called opportunistic species.

Other populations tend to grow exponentially at first, and then logistically-that is, their growth slows as the population increases, then levels off as the limits of their environment or carrying capacity are reached. Through various regulatory mechanisms, such populations maintain something of an equilibrium between their numbers and available resources. Animals exhibiting such population growth tend to produce fewer young but do provide them with parental care; the plants produce large seeds with considerable food reserves. These organisms are long-lived, have low dispersal rates, and are poor colonizers of disturbed habitats. They tend to respond to changes in population density (the number of organisms per unit area) through changes in birth and death rates rather than through dispersal. As the population approaches the limit of resources, birth rates decline, and mortality of young and adults increases.
