In nature, when the population size is small, there is usually plenty of food and other resources for each individual. When there is plenty of food and other resources, organisms can easily reproduce, so the birth rate is high. As the population increases, the food supply, or the supply of another necessary resource, may decrease. When necessary resources, such as food, decrease, some individuals will die. Overall, the population cannot reproduce at the same rate, so the birth rates drop. This will cause the population growth rate to decrease.
In the country of Pantera, there are two villages located in very different regions. The Anselmo village is located in a lush, green region that has beautiful weather as well as plentiful food, water, and access to other necessary resources. The Abbott village is located in a desert region that is hot and dry with minimal access to food, water, and other necessary resources.
In which village will the birth rate be lower, Anselmo village or Abbott village?
