BIRTHS, DEATHS, IMMIGRATION, EMIGRATION, AND LIMITING FACTORS
(BIOTIC AND ABIOTIC) THAT DETERMINE CARRYING CAPACITY.

SC.912.L.17.5#: ANALYZE HOW POPULATION SIZE IS DETERMINED BY
BIRTHS, DEATHS, IMMIGRATION, EMIGRATION, AND LIMITING FACTORS
(BIOTIC AND ABIOTIC) THAT DETERMINE CARRYING CAPACITY.
LIMITING FACTORS? CARRYING CAPACITY?
CARRYING CAPACITY IS THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS OF A SPECIES
THAT AN ENVIRONMENT CAN SUPPORT.
THE FACTOR THAT HAS THE GREATEST EFFECT IN KEEPING DOWN THE
SIZE OF A POPULATION IS CALLED THE LIMITING FACTOR.
ECOSYSTEM NOTES – DAY 1 (INB 61)
IN THE RAIN FOREST, THERE IS PLENTY OF RAIN FOR PLANTS TO GROW.
MOST OF THE SUNLIGHT, THOUGH, IS ABSORBED BY THE TALLEST TREES,
LEAVING LITTLE SUNLIGHT FOR THE PLANTS NEAR THE GROUND.
IN THIS SCENARIO, THE CARRYING CAPACITY FOR PLANTS NEAR THE
GROUND IS LIMITED BY WHAT FACTOR?

IN THE RAIN FOREST, THERE IS PLENTY OF RAIN FOR PLANTS TO GROW.
MOST OF THE SUNLIGHT, THOUGH, IS ABSORBED BY THE TALLEST TREES,
LEAVING LITTLE SUNLIGHT FOR THE PLANTS NEAR THE GROUND TO USE.
IN THIS SCENARIO, THE CARRYING CAPACITY FOR PLANTS NEAR THE

CARRYING CAPACITY IS THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS OF A PARTICULAR SPECIES THAT AN

THE FACTOR THAT HAS THE GREATEST EFFECT IN KEEPING DOWN THE SIZE OF A POPULATION IS
CALLED THE LIMITING FACTOR.
IMMIGRATION – THE MOVEMENT OF INDIVIDUALS INTO A POPULATION
FROM ANOTHER POPULATION.
EMIGRATION – THE MOVEMENT OF INDIVIDUALS OUT OF A POPULATION
AND INTO ANOTHER POPULATION.

IMMIGRATION – THE MOVEMENT OF INDIVIDUALS INTO A POPULATION FROM ANOTHER
POPULATION.
EMIGRATION – THE MOVEMENT OF INDIVIDUALS OUT OF A POPULATION AND INTO ANOTHER
POPULATION.
BIOTIC FACTOR – BASED ON THE WORD ALONE, WHAT DO YOU THINK
IT IS?

BIOTIC FACTOR – LIVING THINGS, LIKE PLANTS, ANIMALS, BACTERIA,
FUNGI, PEOPLE, ETC.
BASED ON THIS DEFINITION, WHAT DO YOU THINK AN ABIOTIC
FACTOR IS? EXAMPLES?

BIOTIC OR ABIOTIC, WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT IN DETERMINING
CARRYING CAPACITY?

LIMITING FACTORS? CARRYING CAPACITY?
THEY ALL MATTER, BECAUSE CHANGING ONE FACTOR IN AN
ECOSYSTEM CAN AFFECT MANY OTHER FACTORS, LIKE POPULATIONS.
