Beverton-Holt Model

The Beverton-Holt Model is a mathematical formula used in ecology to describe how populations of organisms grow over time. It shows that population growth starts rapidly but slows down as resources become limited. The model predicts that population size approaches a maximum level, known as carrying capacity, based on initial population size and reproductive success. It highlights the importance of factors like food availability and space, explaining why some populations can thrive while others may decline or stabilize. This model is valuable for managing wildlife and understanding ecosystems.
