carrying capacity . - (B) determine the birth rate and death rate of each group in a population.
- (C) determine if a population is regulated by density-dependent processes.
(L)) determine the factors that affect the
size of a population .

How does the study of population ecology help us understand why some populations grow, some remain stable and others decline?
The human population has grown as we have increased our global carrying capacity. In your opinion, can the global carrying capacity continue to increase/ Explain your answer?
Why has human population growth, which increased exponentially for centuries, started to decline in the past few decades?
Where are the highest and lowest population densities of humans?
Population ecology:
Do environmental stochasticity and demographic stochasticity impact small populations or large populations more?
Please explain why.

- How would you describe human population growth for the past 200 years. When determining Earth’s carrying capacity for humans, why is it not enough to just consider human numbers? What will happen if there is a rapid growth in human population? What solutions do you have in mind to limit the human population growth?arrow_forwardSpeculate upon the calculation shown in the table and Graph; Briefly explain: a)Do the cohort survivorship curves from each decade different from one another? If so, what might have caused the differences? b)Were the population growing while the cohort was extant? c)How would the data have been altered if Woodland Cemetery had stopped excepting interments in 1950 rather than being open to the present day? d) One problem with studying survivorship curves is that a birth cohort must be followed through until the death of the last individual. How would the shape of a 1960's cohort survivorship curve be altered from those of the 1800's?arrow_forwardHow does the study of population ecology help us understand why some populations grow, some remain stable, and others decline? a.)

It is an example of a positive feedback cycle where with each child born, the potential number of parents increases in the future. What is the most logical conclusion as to when the human population will reach its carrying capacity? A. When a regulating factor exists that keeps the population at equilibrium B. When feedback mechanisms kick in and population growth declines below carrying capacity C. When equilibirum is reached D.
