The growth of a population of natural resources (such as hardwood trees) over time is illustrated by the graph. Two significant pieces of information are included: the environment's carrying capacity and the maximum sustainable yield. The environment's carrying capacity is the point at which all available resources are being used by the organisms in the population, and the maximum sustainable yield is the point at which the highest number of the population are being harvested without impairing the populations' growth. (see pic.) Identify the assumptions about population growth that are implicit in the figure. (multiple answers can be chosen.) A) The environment's carrying capacity does not change over time due to any increase or decrease of resource availability. B) The population grows logistically until it nears the environment's carrying capacity and does not diverge from this rate over time. C) The maximum sustainable yield grows logistically until it reaches the environment's carrying capacity and does not diverge from this rate over time. D) The environment's carrying capacity increases or decreases in response to changes in resource availability over time.

Communities and Ecosystems

Ecology contains two words: Eikos means dwelling, and logy means to study, so the combined meaning is studying habitat or living.
