The minimum number of individuals that a population in a cluster
|
Detailed explanation-1: -The carrying capacity is the number of individuals the environment can support indefinitely, given fluctuations in resources in the environment. In this equation, if K is much larger than N, the population can grow quickly. If K is smaller than N, the population will shrink.
Detailed explanation-2: -Carrying capacity is the maximum number of a species an environment can support indefinitely.
Detailed explanation-3: -The maximum population size that can be supported by the environment is called carrying capacity.
Detailed explanation-4: -As a population grows in an area, a population may experience the effects of increased densities. In a given area, is the maximum population size of the species that the environment can sustain is called the carrying capacity. Carrying capacity is determined by the amount of available resources (food, habitat, water).
Detailed explanation-5: -Logistic growth describes a model for population growth that takes into account carrying capacity, and is therefore a more realistic model for population growth. According to the logistic growth model, a population first grows exponentially because there are few individuals and plentiful resources.
