Examples of biotic and abiotic factors in different biomes (you do not need to memorize all characteristics of every biome) Bn, dn rmax = (b-d) ideally r = actual per capita growth rate of population relationship of r to rmax dn/ dt = rmax n = exponential growth. Logistic growth: dn/ dt = rmax n (k-n)/ k. Regular population cycles and examples r- selected and k-selected species description & examples.
