Stocking rates are expressed as the number of animal unit months (AUM) supplied by one acre of land. The greater the difference between current forage production and the potential forage production of a pasture, the greater the difference will be between carrying capacity and recommended stocking rate.
The fundamental frequency of a wave is the lowest frequency (longest wavelength) that can be used to define its period. The easiest way to understand it is via a musical analogy: The fundamental frequency is the root tone of the overtone or harmonic series.
The simplest way to express a frequency is in absolute terms. A relative frequency describes the number of times a particular value for a variable (data item) has been observed to occur in relation to the total number of values for that variable. The relative frequency is calculated by dividing the absolute frequency by the total number of values for the variable.
