Question

Why does the growth curve line become flat after initially increasing?

  1. The population growth rate has slowed.
  2. The population growth rate has increased.
  3. The population has reached maximum sustainable yield.
  4. The population is experiencing density-independent growth.
MANAGING NATURAL RESOURCES Effective and sustainable management of natural resources requires the determination of a population's maximum sustainable yield, the point at which the maximum number of individuals are being added to the population (and so can be harvested or utilized). CARRYING CAPACITY K MAXIMUM SUSTAINABLE YIELD K/2 When a population is half way to the carrying capacity, K/2, it is growing at its fastest rate. Time Figure 14-11 part 2 What Is Life?
