Fixed effort harvesting and fixed quota harvesting are two very different approaches to fishing, hunting, and timber harvest. Describe each and describe how each affects the population being harvested.
A population grows according to the logistic model
N =
55
1 + 0.9e−1.4t
,
where t is measured in years and N is measured in thousands.
(a) What is r for this population? per year(b) What is the environmental carrying capacity K? thousand(c) This population is subject to harvesting. What is the optimum yield level? thousand
Compare the energy component of your ecological footprint calculated in this way with the 5.9 ha calculated using the method of the Global Footprint Network. Explain why results from the two methods may differ.
