Chapter 53.2, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: In which case the exponential growth of the population of plants is more likely to occur: an area of the undisturbed forest or an area, where the destruction of forest by fire had occurred.
Concept introduction: The population of the species possesses the potential for expanding at a higher rate when there are abundant
