Species a Is a Nonreproductive Shrub You Have Been Studying $\lambda$

question 53

Short Answer

Species A is a nonreproductive shrub you have been studying for 3 years after a wildfire destroyed all the vegetation on your field site. In year 0, 340 individuals were tagged. In year 1, 288 were still alive. In year 2, 250 were alive. In year 3, 200 remained. The data from the control, no wildfire site, documents that species A becomes reproductive in year 3 with a $\lambda$ of 1.21. How many shrubs would you predict will be at the wildfire site in year 4?
