Organisms and Populations

The equation of Verhulst–Pearl logistic growth is dNdt=rN(K−NK)\dfrac{dN}{dt} = rN\left(\dfrac{K - N}{K}\right). From this equation, KK indicates:

  1. A.Biotic potential
  2. B.Carrying capacity✓
  3. C.Population density
  4. D.Intrinsic rate of natural increase

Solution

In the logistic equation dNdt=rN(K−NK)\frac{dN}{dt} = rN\left(\frac{K - N}{K}\right), KK is the carrying capacity — the maximum population the habitat can support; rr is the intrinsic rate of natural increase.
