The dynamics of the human population in Oshawa are influenced by the carrying capacity.
When the population is below the carrying capacity, the birth rate exceeds the death rate, leading to population growth.
At the carrying capacity, the birth rate equals the death rate, and the population stabilizes.
If the population exceeds the carrying capacity, the death rate surpasses the birth rate, causing a population decline.
This model demonstrates how population growth is controlled by the availability of resources and space.
People (Human): Used for stocks like population and carrying capacity. It represents the number of individual humans.
People per person per year (Human / Human / Year): Used for rates like birth and death rates, indicating the number of people added or subtracted per person in the population each year.
People per year (Human / Year): Used for flows like population change, representing the total number of people added or subtracted from the population annually.
