The formula to calculate Density Per Hectare is:
\[ D = \frac{P}{A} \]
Where:
Density per hectare is a measure of population density which is expressed as the number of individuals per hectare of land. This metric is commonly used in urban planning and agricultural studies to understand the distribution of population or organisms within a given area. It helps in assessing the usage of land resources and planning for infrastructure, services, and environmental impact.
Let's consider an example:
Using the formula to calculate Density Per Hectare:
\[ D = \frac{1,000}{50} = 20 \, \text{individuals/hectare} \]
This demonstrates that with a total population of 1,000 individuals and a land area of 50 hectares, the density per hectare would be 20 individuals/hectare.
