Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Logistic population growth produces an S-shaped population growth curve, also known as the sigmoid curve. The curve starts off slow as the population increases slowly at first, then rapidly increases as it approaches the carrying capacity of the environment, and eventually levels off as the population stabilizes. This type of growth is typical of populations that are limited by resources and environmental factors.
