Plant rapidly, maturing within 110 days, whereas others, in the same environmental conditions, grow more slowly and mature within 155 days. Growth is also determined by environmental factors, such as temperature, available water, available light, carbon dioxide and available nutrients in the soil. Any change in the availability of these external conditions will be reflected in the plant's growth and the timing of its development. Biotic factors also affect plant growth. Plants can be so crowded that no single individual produces normal growth, causing etiolation and chlorosis. Optimal plant growth can be hampered by grazing animals, suboptimal soil composition, lack of
Natural population growth on Future Population Growth in Regional Australia. Australian Geographer, 46(1), 91-111. doi:10.1080/00049182.2014.986786 Natural population growth Natural population increase (in contrast to total population increase) happens as people are born (in contrast to immigration) into a country, and decrease as people die (in contrast to emigrate). Rates of population growth, usually expressed as a percentage, vary greatly. The immigrating population has increased by a huge margin in the past few years. Due to this rising trend of migration it is important that we look into how migration has affected the population, and the trends that follow with it. The countries that
