These beetles have a uniform distribution. In year 1, how many beetles are there per hectare? How many beetles per hectare were there in the year the beetles reached carrying capacity? Round up or down to the nearest whole number, if necessary.

Answer 1

In a uniform distribution, individuals are evenly scattered across an area. Therefore, in year 1, each hectare would have the same number of beetles.

Let's say the carrying capacity of the area is 1000 beetles per hectare. In the year the beetles reached carrying capacity, there would be 1000 beetles per hectare.

So, in year 1, the number of beetles per hectare would also be 1000.
