Parameters
Growth Rate (r)
Carrying Capacity (K)
Initial Population (Pā)
Key Concepts
ā¢ Exponential growth early on ā slows as population nears K
ā¢
K
is the carrying capacity ā maximum sustainable population
ā¢ Inflection point (max growth rate) occurs at P = K/2
ā¢ dP/dt = rP(1 ā P/K) ā growth rate depends on available "room"
