Summary Introduction

To explain:

The process how the density-dependent birth rate of dune fescue grass exemplifies negative feedback in the biological system.

Concept introduction:

The species of the dune fescue grass (Vulpia fasciculate) grow rapidly and form dense covering on the land region in the presence of nutrients, carbon dioxide, oxygen and sunlight. The rapid growth causes the scarcity of food, nutrients, oxygen and sunlight. This causes the inhibition of the growth and proliferation of the plant species.
