Background on Ecology

Some concepts and tools about Ecology you will need in this project:

• Logistic growth formula: N₁ = N₀ + r N₀ [(K-N₀)/K] describes the growing of a population after one generation of logistic growing.

where N₁ is the population after one generation, N₀ is the initial population, r the growing rate and K the capacity of charge of the ecosystem.

• Biomass pyramids
• Food webs
