About this document
Understanding Population Dynamics by Sebastian Smythe is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This module discusses population dynamics and how populations grow and decline over time. Key factors that influence population size are the demographic processes of birth, death, immigration and emigration. Population growth can be modeled using exponential and logistic growth curves. The exponential model shows unlimited growth but the logistic model accounts for environmental limits to growth. These limits are classified as density-dependent, where factors like disease and predation increase their effect
