Lotka-Volterra models of interspecific competition Population growth with carrying capacity: Competitive impact of species 2 on species 1 = N2 = Impact per individual of species 2 on 1 Competitive impact of species 1 on species 2 = N1
For species 1 For species 2
>> species 1 can’t grow >> species 2 can’t grow
Competition between two diatoms, Asterionella formosa and Synedra ulna for silica.
