Write out the growth equation including the following factors: natality, mortality, immigration, and emigration
Provide a one-sentence explanation for the impact of each of these factors on the population growth rate. What will be an ideal response?
dN/dt = N[(b-d) + (i-e)]
b = natality: increases the growth rate
d = mortality: decreases the growth rate
i = immigration: increases the growth date
e = emigration: decreases the growth rate
