This paper establishes some maximum and comparison principles relative to lower and upper solutions of nonlinear parabolic partial differential equations with impulsive effects. These principles are applied to obtain some sufficient conditions for the global asymptotic stability of a unique positive equilibrium in a reaction-diffusion equation modeling the growth of a single-species population subject to abrupt changes of certain important system parameters.
