Answer:
The population would grow to 63,667 deer in a year, and the growth rate would decrease the following year.
Explanation:
Sika deer population : starting at 26000 in 2005
stabilized at 58000 between 2012 and 2014
rmax = 0.57
The population size of Sika deer be one year after the carrying capacity increased to 70000 as a result of deforestation
carrying capacity (k) = 70000
population size ( N ) = 58000
max growth(rmax) = 0.57
To determine the growth
dN/dt = rmax N [ (K-N) / K ] ---------- (1)
insert the given value into the formula above
dN / dt = 0.57 * 58000 [ 12000 / 70000 ]
= 33060 [12000 / 70000 ]
= 5667
The increase in population = 5667 + 58000 = 63667
The population size of Sika deer one year after the carrying capacity increased to 70000 as a result of deforestation is; 63667 deer
Calculation of Growth Rate
We are given the following about the Sika deer population;
- Initial Population in 2005 = 26000
- Stabilized Population between 2012 and 2014 = 58000
- r_max for population = 0.57
Now, we want to find the population size of Sika deer one year after the carrying capacity increased to 70000 as a result of deforestation
Thus;
carrying capacity; k = 70000
population size; N = 58000
max growth rate; r_max = 0.57
Formula for the growth is;
dN/dt = (r_max × N)[(K - N)/K]
Plugging in the relevant values gives;
dN/dt = 0.57 × 58000[12000/70000]
dN/dt = 5667
Thus;
Increase in population = 5667 + 58000
⇒ 63667
