The document discusses the concept of carrying capacity, which is defined as the maximum population size that can be sustained by the environment indefinitely. It notes that population growth is influenced by birth rates, immigration, death rates, and emigration. When the population exceeds the carrying capacity, it degrades the environment and reduces future carrying capacity. Factors like competition for resources, predation, disease, and weather affect the carrying capacity. Population growth follows a logistic curve as it slows down upon reaching the carrying capacity. Carrying capacity is relevant for urban planning and tourism management.
Characteristics of Population PPT covers all the types of Age Distribution Methods,Growth Rates,Population Density,Gender Ratio,Pattern of Distribution ,etc.
Exponential growth: Resource (food and space) availability is
obviously essential for the unimpeded growth of a population.
Ideally, when resources in the habitat are unlimited, each species
has the ability to realise fully its innate potential to grow in number,
as Darwin observed while developing his theory of natural
selection.
Basic carrying capacity presentation, with key definitions and examples. Data are always changing on carrying capacity estimates. This uses data that is about 8 years old, but it is useful if you explain this to your students from the start.
+A wetland is a distinct ecosystem that is flooded by water, either permanently or seasonally, where oxygen-free processes prevail. The primary factor that distinguishes wetlands from other land forms or water bodies is the characteristic vegetation of aquatic plants, adapted to the unique hydric soil.
+Wetlands include a variety of habitats, which may be natural or man made area of water or marsh that can be lotic (standing water) and lentic (running water).

The human population and the environment: factors affecting population growth...St Xaviers
Here is another project. based on -effects of human population on the environment in brief. Consisting the factors affecting population growth, effects of population, and prediction of population growth rate
Population : The word population has been derived from the Latin word “populatio” which means people.
The group of individual species which occupy a definite geographic area is defined as population.
Population Growth : The change in population per unit area at particular time is called population Growth.
Effect of development on environment and population ecologyMegha Majoe

Introduction to Sustainable Energy StudiesMark Valen
“Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”
Our environment is constantly changing. There is no denying that. However, as our environment changes, so does the need to become increasingly aware of the problems that surround it. With a massive influx of natural disasters, warming and cooling periods, different types of weather patterns and much more, people need to be aware of what types of environmental problems our planet is facing.
It is as per the syllabus of M.Sc. NRM including detailed study of population ecology
It describes the meaning of population with respect to ecology and includes population attributes, dynamics, dispersal, Population growth models, survivorship curves and limitations.
It also entails factors that influence and regulate population growth on the basis of density.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

WHAT IS CARRYING CAPACITY?
Carrying capacity of an area can be defined as the maximum number of population that can
be supported by the environment of that area through optimum utilization of the available
resources.
WHAT IS POPULATION?
Population is a group of organisms, all of the same species, that live in a specific area at the
same time.

WHAT CAUSES POPULATION CHANGE?
FOUR FACTORS
Birth Rate : Number of births
Immigration : Movement into the population
Death Rate : Number of deaths
Emigration : Movement out of the population
4. Term Paper _ Carrying Capacity 2021AMP003_PriyankaSaikia
WHAT IS CARRYING CAPACITY?
The maximum population a habitat can support indefinitely.
Population exceeds, for long periods, degrades its environment and reduces future carrying
capacity.
• When population is below
carrying capacity it will
increase in size
• If increases too much and rise
above its carrying capacity, it
will decrease its size.
• Increases and decreases gets
smaller.
• Until eventually the population
size becomes stable at carrying
capacity.
5. Term Paper _ Carrying Capacity 2021AMP003_PriyankaSaikia
WHAT AFFECTS CARRYING CAPACITY?
LIMITING FACTOR
Factors that affect the size of a population.
• Competition over resources
• Predation and Herbivore
• Parasitism and Diseases
• Natural Disasters
• Weather
• Presence of invasive species
6. Term Paper _ Carrying Capacity 2021AMP003_PriyankaSaikia
POPULATION GROWTH
LINEAR GROWTH
If a population grew at a set amount each
year, say by 10 organisms per year, then
the population has LINEAR GROWTH.
However, populations normally do not
have linear growth
EXPONENTIAL GROWTH
A population that is growing without any
limits, would have exponential growth.
But, populations cannot keep exponential
growth for very long, because the
environment would not be able to support
7. Term Paper _ Carrying Capacity 2021AMP003_PriyankaSaikia
POPULATION GROWTH
LOGISTIC GROWTH
A population that is growing with limiting
factors, would have restricted growth.
LOGISTIC GROWTH – Example
Easter Island –
Discovered by Polynesians ~ A.D.
Population grew to several thousand –
• Used trees for canoes to hunt
dolphins,
• Used wood for cooking,
• Also ate birds, eggs, vegetables
Resources (trees) depleted –
• No canoes, no dolphins,
• Warfare over land, food resources
Population fell to ~ 100.

9. Term Paper _ Carrying Capacity 2021AMP003_PriyankaSaikia
CARRYING CAPACITY
The S-shape logistic growth forms
when the growth rate is slow at first (lag
phase) and next speeds up (exponential
phase). Then, the rate slows down again
as the population size reaches carrying
capacity.
It coincides with the stable equilibrium,
which refers to the population size that
has reached a steady-state as it aligns
with the carrying capacity.
This point indicates “zero-growth”.

CARRYING CAPACITY
Carrying capacity is presented as the
constant K in the logistic population
growth equation,
𝑑𝑁
𝑑𝑡
= 𝑟𝑁(
𝐾−𝑁
𝐾
)
Where,
N = population size or density
dN/dt = change in population size
r = intrinsic rate of natural increase (i.e.,
the maximum per capita growth rate in
the absence of competition)
t = time
11. Term Paper _ Carrying Capacity 2021AMP003_PriyankaSaikia
CARRYING CAPACITY
Carrying capacity K formula –
𝐾 =
𝑟𝑁 (1 − 𝑁)
𝑑𝑁
𝑑𝑡
Where,
N = population size or density
dN/dt = change in population size
r = intrinsic rate of natural increase (i.e.,
the maximum per capita growth rate in
the absence of competition)
t = time

In the real world, there are variations on
the “ideal” logistic curve.

CARRYING CAPACITY IN URBAN PLANNING
Planners usually define carrying capacity as the ability of the natural or artificial system
that can absorb the population growth or physical development without considerable
degradation or damage
The evaluation of urban carrying capacity is a complex process as it is determined from
basic needs such as food requirements, various kinds of resources consumed and the many
kinds of wastes generated, different kinds of land use conversions leading to ecological
imbalance and the great variability in technology, institutions and lifestyles created.
