. Carrying capacity is the maximum number of organisms that an area or ecosystem can sustainably support over a long period of time.
Therefore the Carrying capacity is set by limiting factors of the particular ecosystem and differs from ecosystem to ecosystem, even within very similar ecosystems.
Limiting factors- temperature, water, nutrients

Tolerance range for any environmental factor-
STENOECIOUS SPECIES- WITH WIDE RANGE
EURYOECIOUS SPECIES- WITH NARROW RANGE

AN OPTIMUM RANGE –within which species can thrive
Upper and lower levels of environmental factors – beyond which a population cannot survive

OLIGOTYPIC- SPECIES AT THE LOWER END OF THE TOLERANCE CURVE
POLYTYPIC- ON THE HIGHER END
MESOTYPIC- IN THE MIDDLE

TEMPERATURE - DAILY, MONTHLY AND ANNUAL
EXTREMES, AND MEAN TEMPERATURES
- ANIMALS- A VITAL LIMITING FACTOR (COLD BLOODED, PHYSIOLOGICAL
ADAPTATIONS TO TOLERATE HIGH BODY TEMPERATURES)

- PLANTS: CHILL-SENSITIVE (DAMAGED BELOW
10ºC, TROPICAL) FROST-SENSITIVE (CAN SURVIVE
BELOW 10ºC) , FROST-RESISTANT (CAN SURVIVE -
15ºC), FROST-TOLERANT (SURVIVE BY
WITHDRAWING WATER FROM THEIR CELLS),
COLD-TOLERANTE (NEEDLE SHAPED LEAVES)

WATER PLANTES-EXTREMELY SENSITIVE TO
WATER LEVEL: -HYDROPHYTES (WATER TOLERANT,
IN STANDING WATER) - MESOPHYTES (MOIST BUT NOT
WET) - XEROPHYTES (DRY
ENVIRONMENTS)

SUCCULENTS- plants that store water
CRASSULACEAN ACID METABOLISM (CAM)-take in carbon dioxide at night, and using it during the day

- J-curves (shows only exponential growth) - S-curves (an initial rapid growth-exponential,
then slow down-transitional, and stationary-plateau phase-population growth stabilizes)
![Page 12: 5F4&index=11&list=PL2AyX6LWJkplnbmhZ1K m6bg3kdwGT3fVj 5F4&index=11&list=PL2AyX6LWJkplnbmhZ1K.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d9e5503460f94a88d03/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The graph of a population that grows exponentially is called a J-shaped curve.

J AND S CURVES
The graph of a population that grows until it reaches a stable size based on the carrying capacity is called an S-shaped curve.

- LONGER-LIVED SPECIESTEND TO FOLLOW THE S-CURVE
EXPONENTIAL GROWTH IS FOLLOWED BY SLOWER GROWTH DUE TO DENSITY-DEPENDENT AND DENSITY-INDEPENDENT FACTORS

DENSITY-DEPENDENT FACTORS lower the birth rate or raise the death rate
as a population grows in size (food availability)
Size of the breeding population Size of territory
Operate as negative feedback mechanisms Predation may be good for the pray-
removes old and sick individuals
![Page 20: 5F4&index=11&list=PL2AyX6LWJkplnbmhZ1K m6bg3kdwGT3fVj 5F4&index=11&list=PL2AyX6LWJkplnbmhZ1K.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d9e5503460f94a88d03/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
- DENSITY-INDEPENDENT FACTORS (abiotic) affect a population irrespective of population density,
notably environmental change Extremes of weather (fire, drought) and long-term climate change Geophysical events(volcanic eruptions, tsunamis)
INCREASE THE DEATH RATE-REDUCE THE BIRTH RATE

HUMAN ACTIVITIES HAVE AN IMPACT ON NATURAL POPULATIONS- INCREASE
HUMANS CAN CAUSE POPULATION GROWTH(by increase resources, reduce competition, over
hunting, introduce animals to new areas) HUMANS CAN CAUSE POPULATION DECLINE
AND EXTINCTION(cause habitat disruption, introduce animals to
new areas, overkill)

SURVIVORSHIP CURVES r- and K- strategists
K-carrying capacity of environment
K- strategists (species)- slowgrowing organisms (limited by K)
r- strategists (species)-fast rate of increaseC-strategists (species)- between them

r- and K-selection theory
NATURAL SELECTION may favour individuals with a high reproductive rate and rapid development over those with lower reproductive rates but better competitive ability
