High soil salt or temps in salt marshes or desert include treespecies can cope with environmentalextremest live in benign. Central assumption that all population are equal individuals in the. Age structure variation determines the rate of population growth. Cohort groupof same ageyoung thatgrow and similar survive rates. Survivorship curve plot ofthe of individuals alive in a population. Survivorship can vary among individuals and among populations of the same species. Grazing can change survivorship patterns differentially as well of individuals alive indiff as theage specific survival age mortality. Life tables provide data on the classes in a population rates. Dx static life tables provide a snapshot of a population"s age structure from a a giventime alive sample startof theyear number that died during that year. Can be found by subtracting the number alive at time x+1 from the number alive at time x. Cohortlife tablesfollow an entire cohort of individualsfrom birth to death.
