Biotic Potential

The Biotic Potential Growth calculator computes the maximum population growth based on the per capita growth rate of population and the population size.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

• (r_max) Maximum per capita Growth Rate of population
• (N) Population Size

Max Potential Growth (dN/dt): The calculator returns the logistic growth rate in growth per day.   However, this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu (e.g. growth per month).

The Math / Science

The biotic growth formula is:

     `(dN)/(dt) = r_max * N`

where:

1. dN/dt - Max Potential Growth
2. r_max - maximum per capita growth rate of population
3. N - population size
