Question

Explain the S-shaped growth curve ? How is it different from the J-shaped growth curve ?

Answer 1

S-shaped growth curve (sigmoid growth curve) A pattern of growth in which, in anew environment, the population density of an organism increases slowly initially, in apositive acceleration phase; then increases rapidly approaching an exponential growthrate as in the J-shaped curve; but then declines in a negative ...
