  2. Von Foerster equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Foerster_equation

    where the population density (,) is a function of age and time , and () is the death function. When () =, we have: = It relates that a population ages, and that fact is the only one that influences change in population density; the negative sign shows that time flows in just one direction, that there is no birth and the population is going to die out.

  3. Population density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_density

    Population density is the number of people per unit of area, usually transcribed as "per square kilometer" or square mile, and which may include or exclude, for example, areas of water or glaciers. Commonly this is calculated for a county, city, country, another territory or the entire world . The world's population is around 8,000,000,000 [3 ...

  4. Population dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_dynamics

    where N is the biomass density, a is the maximum per-capita rate of change, and K is the carrying capacity of the population. The formula can be read as follows: the rate of change in the population (dN/dt) is equal to growth (aN) that is limited by carrying capacity (1 − N/K).

  5. Rate of natural increase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_natural_increase

    Data unavailable. In Demography, the rate of natural increase ( RNI ), also known as natural population change, is defined as the birth rate minus the death rate of a particular population, over a particular time period. [1] It is typically expressed either as a number per 1,000 individuals in the population [2] or as a percentage. [3]

  6. Relative change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_change

    The relative change is independent of the unit of measurement employed; for example, the relative change from 2 to 1 m is −50%, the same as for 200 to 100 cm.The relative change is not defined if the reference value (v ref) is zero, and gives negative values for positive increases if v ref is negative, hence it is not usually defined for negative reference values either.

  7. Population growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_growth

    Population growth is the increase in the number of people in a population or dispersed group. Actual global human population growth amounts to around 83 million annually, or 1.1% per year. [2] The global population has grown from 1 billion in 1800 to 7.9 billion in 2020. [3] The UN projected population to keep growing, and estimates have put ...

  8. Fold change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fold_change

    Fold change. Fold change is a measure describing how much a quantity changes between an original and a subsequent measurement. It is defined as the ratio between the two quantities; for quantities A and B the fold change of B with respect to A is B / A. In other words, a change from 30 to 60 is defined as a fold-change of 2.

  9. List of countries and dependencies by population density

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and...

    This is a list of countries and dependencies ranked by population density, sorted by inhabitants per square kilometre or square mile. The list includes sovereign states and self-governing dependent territories based upon the ISO standard ISO 3166-1. The list also includes unrecognized but de facto independent countries.
