The equation of Verhulst-Pearl logistic growth is dNdt=rN[K−NK]\frac{\mathrm{dN}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\mathrm{rN}\left[\frac{\mathrm{K}-\mathrm{N}}{\mathrm{K}}\right]. From this equation, K indicates:

Options

  1. ABiotic potential
  2. BCarrying capacity
  3. CPopulation density
  4. DIntrinsic rate of natural increase

Correct answer

B. Carrying capacity

Step-by-step solution

In the equation dNdt=rN(K−NK),K\frac{\mathrm{dN}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\mathrm{rN}\left(\frac{\mathrm{K}-\mathrm{N}}{\mathrm{K}}\right), \mathrm{K} represents carrying capacity.
