Document Summary

Exponential population growth is population increase under idealized conditions. Exponential population growth results in a j-shaped curve. The rate of increase is constant, but the population accumulates more new individuals per unit time when it is large than when it is small. In the logistic growth population model, the per capita rate of increase declines as carrying capacity is reached. The logistic model starts with the exponential model and adds an expression that reduces per capita rate of increase as n approaches k.
