Summary Introduction

To determine:

The growth rate of population if population size (N) becomes equal to carrying capacity (K) as per fig. 37.8 Logistic population growth”, in the textbook from chapter “Turning Boom into Bust”.

Concept introduction:

Logistic population growth refers to a growth rate pattern, in which growth starts to decrease as the population size (N) starts reaching the carrying capacity (K). Ecosystem’s carrying capacity refers to the maximum number of individuals that the ecosystem can sustain providing the food, water, habitat, and other necessities. It can be determined as the maximum load that ecosystem or an environment can sustain.
