This quantity appears in the denominator of a differential equation formulated by Verhulst.
This quantity appears in the denominator of a differential equation formulated by Verhulst. In the logistic growth model, this quantity is graphically represented by a horizontal asymptote. A population of r-strategists can overshoot this quantity because growth is not dependent on a stable equilibrium phase, but a population of k-strategists tends to grow towards this quantity gradually. The rate of growth of a population is zero when this quantity is reached, at which the birth and death rates are equal. For 10 points, name this biological quantity determined by limiting factors, the maximum population size of a given species that an environment can sustain indefinitely
