Presentation transcript:

Factors that affect Wildlife Populations Agri-science Mr. Bailey

How does Wildlife population pertain to their ecosystem? Birth and death play an important factor Death rate vs. birth rate 1=1 is practical

What else may affect an animal’s population? Predators (human and animal) Habitat requirements (food, water, cover, space) Diseases “breaking point” of habitat

What is “breaking point”? Breaking point is the maximum amount of animals that a habitat can support. Any animals over this point will tip the scale and use up all the requirements before they can be replenished.

Activity Time OH DEER!!!!

Exit Slip Explain what may happen if wildlife populations over exceed its “breaking point” for supporting wildlife.
