Population Growth : Density Dependent Factors Abstract Sets Of Experiments

Thesis: The topic of human population growth is an important issue due to its impacts upon people in developing countries, economics, religion, food production, and the environment; without any limitations, population growth can lead to negative consequences, such as famine and environmental destruction, or even positive outcomes, such as potential economic growth.

Population can be slowed by its numbers because as the population grows, limiting factors become more present. You start as a small population with good resources plenty of food, not very much competition for food and ect. Then your population growth grows and after so many generations you come into limiting factors that your population growth has become too large and the competition for food is higher, also less food to go around as we need to feed the total population and resources being used up with the increased numbers. This causes the growth rate to slow because the environment isn’t ideal causing more deaths. Then the stability of carrying capacity is thrown off with death rate possibly exceeding birth rates causing population to be slowed because of all these chain reactions occurring.

Birth rate is defined as the number of live births per thousand of population per year. The US birth rate has dropped to the lowest point in over 10 years. In the first quarter of 2017, the rate fell to 61.5 births per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44. This has fallen from the previous year of 62.5 births per 1,000 women. (Emanuel, CNN, 2017)

The United States population is growing rapidly. At a rate of 0.7% per year currently, that equates to about 9 million new people a year, after the number of deaths are accounted for. With the number of people seen on the streets rising and the number of incarcerated criminals “dropping” to around 0.2%, it is difficult to see where all these new people are going to fit into society. As hard as it is to imagine a new baby born every eight seconds, that is the reality currently facing America. However, while this type of population growth is likely going to cause America’s demise, another country is currently populating at a rate even America cannot compete with: India. At an astonishing 1.7% increase per year, India is currently populated with almost 900 million more people than the United States. With less than half the land size and an undeniable need for more resources to survive, India has been faced with the largest increase of population within the last century. However, unlike the United States, India’s government has taken crucial steps towards helping to control their population. Albeit, their methods are a bit unorthodox and incredibly appalling by Western standards. Regardless, in order to maintain a

Imagine the earth as a rubber band and you put it around a roll of paper, paper being the people. The more paper you ad the more stretched the rubber band gets until it just snaps. Earth represents the food water and oxygen needed to live and when that burst, life ceases to exist. Population growth is due to three reasons, high birth rate, low mortality rates, and increase in food production. Populations numbers are more rapidly eating away at natural resources and in the future there will be no more to go around. China's idea is to make laws forbidding no more than one child. Couples should be responsible for the number of kids they have and not be forced by law.

Beyond a doubt we urgently need to address the devastating global issue of population growth in the United States America before we destroy our planet. We are facing many devastating economic problems, such as pollution, global warming, education, but the most critical is overconsumption. Overpopulation is a huge problem in the United States of America, which is causing us to run out of natural resources. The human race is already too large and is destroying the natural systems that support us. There are many solutions to this problem, but the common factor is controlling the human race. What can we do as a society to help contribute to controlling the population growth? “The United States is the most overpopulated country in the world” (Ehrlich).

Population trends have varied greatly over the course of U.S. history, as well as the dynamics that impact governmental and fiscal decisions. The evolution of the age structure of a population and the leading causes of death of that population are key determinants for establishing a plan for future financial sustainability and successful delivery of health care to that population.

Species will thrive in an environment with abundant food supplies and ideal conditions. The experiment will prove the effects factors such as nutrient availability and density affects the exponential growth of Duckweed. Factors contributing to a thriving community include abundant food, clean environments, and space among other resources. Duckweed can live in extreme environments except freezing poles and deserts (Naturia.per.sg). Under adequate ph., temperature, and availability of nutrients this aquatic plant will double its biomass in 16 hours to 2 days through asexual reproduction. If the plant is in a limited space the population will reach a maximum carrying capacity as its roots and leaves occupy the container. As overcrowding begins

The lab help us to undestand all the factors that has a impact in the population and the measures that can be taken to find an equilibrium of the population growth. The earth has a carrying capacity and this lab is useful to analayze and be aware about the effects in the environment caused by the population growth.

The data collected shows that over time, the duckweed will die if it is placed in soap water. The duckweed growth decreases by a small amount in D.I. water, as well. Both the number of fronds and the total frond area decreases or falls to zero after a period of time, when duckweed is grown in soap contaminated water. Overall, the frond number and total frond area for duckweed grown in D.I. water falls slightly. This data supports the alternative hypothesis that if the duckweed is placed in water contaminated with soap, then the growth and number of duckweed fronds will decrease. This decrease in growth from contamination occurs because duckweed needs the proper nutrients to grow and prosper. In addition, duckweed will die in soap contaminated water because it is not adept to grow in such conditions. The duckweed grew slowly or not at all in the D.I. water because they may not have received enough sunlight over the time period. The window may not have let the necessary amounts of light in for the plants to survive. Another reason for the decrease in growth of the duckweed in D.I. water could be that the initial colonies were not strong enough to survive on their own. They may have been damaged before they were placed into the

The earth as we know it is spiraling towards extinction and the main enemy is overpopulation. Because of the increase in humans and their innate ability to destroy what its’ resources we could possibly lose our world as we know it. The balance in our living systems versus the population is not equal. We in America tend to live for right now, with little or no regard for our future. Can we change? What must we do to change? Let us

Duckweed is a small aquatic plant that is able to grow rapidly, making it the ideal specimen for our experiment. It is hypothesized that altering the amount of light received by duckweed will alter its photosynthetic rate. It is predicted that a lower light intensity will lower the rate of growth in duckweed. Also is an important high-protein food source for waterfowl and also is eaten by humans in some parts of the world. As it contains more protein than soybeans, it is sometimes cited as a significant

The aim of this study is to find additional empirical evidences on the relationship between population growth and economic growth as economists are perambulating between three theories. First, economic growth and population growth are negatively related, which means if population increases, economic growth decreases. Second, economic growth and population growth are positively related, which implies that when population increases economic growth also increases, and third, population growth is neutral to economic growth. The study established an econometric model under the framework of Solow swan production model to test the relationship between population growth and economic growth in Kenya, using a time series data
