Question

If 657 deer live in a 600 hectare forest, what would the population density be?

Is this the crude density or the ecological density? How do you know?

This is all I have

Answer 1

ANSWER -

the difference betweeen crude density and ecological density is that , in crude density all the land is used, does not matter used or not used land, whole land comes into play, while in ecological density only that land comes into play which is being used, and the un used land is excluded

population density is defined as the number of organism living in the given area.

here are the formula for the same -

population density = number of organism/ land area

crude density = number of organism / total land area

ecological density = number of organism/ total used land area

the difference between population density and crude density is that, population density refers to the population sie with some unit of space, while crude density refers to the areas under the range of organism

here,

number of organism =657

area = 600 hectare

population density = number of organism/ area = 657/600 = 1.095

it is the crude density , as mentioned above also, that, in crude all the area is being used up and so does happen here, all the given area in the question is being used up which makes it equal to the population density.
