^^dN/dt = B - D^^
\
Sharp increase in population growth, occurs under ideal conditions w/ abundant resources
Number of organisms added to each generation increases as the population grows
More individuals are reproducing but amount of time it takes to produce offspring stays the same
J CURVE!!
Equation: dN = change in pop size, dt = change in time, N = population size, r = maximum per capital growth rate of population
^^dN/dt = rN^^
\
Growth starts slowly, then exponential growth, then stable maximum growth
Carrying capacity: Max # of individuals envt can support
Equation: dN = change in pop size, dt= change in time, N = pop size, K = carrying capacity, r = max per capital growth rate of pop
^^dN/dt = rN((K-N)/K)^^
