You ask 250 students to answer the question have you used an illegal drug in the past 72 hours? You use the two coin message described in this section and 86 people answered yes. Estimate how many students in the group have used drugs recently.
Q. 3) Carrying capacity / Stocking rate (Populations and ecosystem)
You removed the above-ground plant material from around 10 quadrats ( 1 sq meter each) in each area to measure primary production. After drying in the oven at 60° C for 24 hrs, the mean dry weight of the plant biomass was 290 g/m² in area 1 and 280 g/m² in area 2. If you want to keep a herd of wild onagers in a fenced area of 1 km², without feeding them during the spring season, what would be the maximum size of the herd (carrying capacity) in each area? You also estimated that around 30% of the plant mass in area 1 belong to unpalatable and poisonous plants, whereas the proportion of unpalatable plant material in area 2 was 25%.
Calculation hints (calculate the total amount of palatable plant biomass in 1 km² in each area, what is the average weight of an onager, how much dry mass does a herbivore mammal consume per day, …)
