What is the defintion of population size
Which region will add the most people between 2013and 2050? Which will increase by the greatest percentageduring this time period. Which regions will experience verylittle population growth during this period?
Use the graphs to answer the question below. In each of the figures, the x-axis represents time, and the y-axis represents population size. The solid line is population size of Species
1; the dashed line is population size of Species 2.
