Curves are graphs used to study mortality rates in organisms . Allow Ecologist to identify when the mortality rate are low , steady , or high . Survivorship Curve ( Type ) - Morality age increases dramatically with age or life span Survivorship Curve ( Type ) - Morality has the same probability each year of life span . Survivorship Curve ( Type ) - Most die when young , old ones are good survivals . The scientific name for J - Curve is growth . The scientific name for S - Curve is growth . Capacity is the maximum number of organisms an environment can hold . population growth means population is in balance Biotic factors are density - factors Abiotic factors are density - factors is many small isolated populations within a large population .
