When does the growth rate of a population following the logistic model equal zero? The logistic model is given as d N / d t = r N (1 - N / K) :

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

In the logistic growth equation d N / d t = r N (1 - N / K), the growth rate (d N / d t) becomes zero when the term (1 - N / K) is zero. This happens when N = K (population size equals carrying capacity), which means N / K = 1 .

Try it yourself before checking the explanation above.

When does the growth rate of a population following the logistic model equal zero? The logistic model is given as d N / d t = r N (1 - N / K) :

When N nears the carrying capacity of the habitat

When N / K equals zero

When death rate is greater than birth rate

When N / K is exactly one
