in 2021, the growth rate of the human population was 1.03% per year with a thencurrent population of 7.875 billion people. Assuming a carrying capacity of 15 billionindividuals,when will the population reach 14.5 billion (i.e., nearly carrying capacity)?
The birthrate of USA is 12 per 1,000 per year and the death rate is 9 per 1,000 per year. What is the annual growth rate for the USA?

The forest can support a maximum of 1,200 barking deer. The competition coefficient of barking deer on the axis deer is 0.25, and the competition coefficient of the reverse pair is 0.5. The intrinsic growth rate of barking deer is 2.0. Based on the Lotka-Volterra model, the population growth rate for barking deer is 416.67 Now, let's see if the two species can coexist in this forest. You are provided with some additional information: the carrying capacity of axis deer is 4,000.
