C4.1.5—Carrying capacity Topic Practice
C4.1.5—Carrying capacity Topic Practice
Practise interpreting carrying capacity through population graphs, limiting factors, sustainable harvesting and changes in growth rate.
How this is tested
- explain why population growth slows or fluctuates near carrying capacity
- state limiting factors such as light, space, nutrients, disease and predation from data
- link sustainable harvesting to population replacement and monitored population size
