The initial values for the fog beetle population are as follows:
initial # of fog beetles (n0) = 2,000,
birth rate=.88 (b)
death rate= .05 (d)

what is the calculated population growth rate (r) for the beetles?
growth rate(r) = birth rate (b)- death rate (d)

.88

.05

.83

.94

Answer: 0.83 (=0.88-0.05)

Growth rate is the speed/rate at which the number of individuals within a population increases.

As the current growth rate of the fog beetles is 83%, the population will increase with 1660 individuals per reproductive cycle (N=N0*r --> N=2000*0,83 --> N=1660).

answer: national resource conservation services

national resource conservation services is the us. based approach that provides technical and financial assistance for natural resource management. nrcs society in conservation of resources by involving in activities like farmland protection, flood prevention, watershed protection, urban conservation, conserves economic and environmental conditions. it conducts soil surveys and implements the policy of natural resources management on the society.
