Term:
Intrinsic rate of the biomass growth
Definition:
Constant of the Production models that represents the instantaneous rate of the decreasing of the function H(K)-H(B), where B is the biomass, H(B) is a function of the total biomass, usually a power-function, (including the logarithmic function that can be considered a limit power function) and k is the carrying capacity of the environment. Some models introduce one more parameter, p, which is used to obtain a more general relation.
