Age structure the maximum population of a given species that a particular habitat can sustain without degrading the habitat
biotic potential
the proportions of individuals in a population at various ages
carrying capacity
the number of individuals in a population found in a given area
environmental resistance
species that have few offspring and have slower population growth than r-selected species
intrinsic rate of increase
the rate at which a population would grow if it had unlimited resources
k-selected species
a population's capacity to grow
population density
all the factors that act to limit the growth of a population
r-selected species
species with a high capacity for population increase
