-When the population is small relative to the carrying capacity, logistic growth is
exponential with a fractional growth rate close to the base growth rate r.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In logistic growth, when the population size is much smaller than the carrying capacity, the growth rate is nearly exponential because the limiting factors related to population density (e.g., competition for resources) are minimal, allowing the population to grow at a rate close to its intrinsic rate of increase (r).
