ΔN/Δt = rmaxN [1-(N/K)]
 Definition
Population growth per capita

Characteristics of Logistic Growth Equations

  1. ΔN/Δt slows as population size (N)...
  2. [1-(N/K)] becomes smaller...
  3. When N is small...
  4. When N is large...
 Definition
  1. approaches K
  2. as N approaches K
  3. r=rmax; b > d
  4. r=0; b = d
