Physiological density refers to the number of people per unit of arable land (land suitable for agriculture). If the physiological density is much larger than the arithmetic density (total population divided by total land area), then it means that the country has more people per unit of arable land than the general population density would suggest. This implies that there is a small percentage of land suitable for agriculture in relation to the population, rather than inefficiency or a surplus of farmers.
