Presets
Exponential growth assumes unlimited resources and explodes without bound. Logistic growth adds a carrying capacity K: as the population nears K, growth slows and levels off in a characteristic S-curve. It is the foundation of ecology, epidemiology, and resource management.

Reading this result: Classic S-curve: from N₀=20 the population grows fastest as it crosses the inflection point N=K/2=500, then decelerates and levels off at the carrying capacity K=1000.
