for loop in beverton-holt model in matlab

Here's an example for loop in MATLAB that implements the Beverton-Holt model for population dynamics:

main.m
r = 0.7;  % intrinsic growth rate
K = 1000;  % carrying capacity
N0 = 100;  % initial population size
tspan = 1:50;  % time span

N = zeros(size(tspan));  % initialize population size vector
N(1) = N0;  % set initial population size

for i = 2:length(tspan)
    N(i) = N(i-1) + r*N(i-1)*(1 - N(i-1)/K);
end

plot(tspan, N);
xlabel('Time');
ylabel('Population size');

In this example, the for loop iterates over the tspan vector (excluding the first time point) and calculates the population size over time using the Beverton-Holt model. The resulting population size vector is then plotted against time. Note that the Beverton-Holt model takes in the intrinsic growth rate r, carrying capacity K, and initial population size N0 as input parameters.
