State

This procedure traces one population's growth curve from initial exponential increase through logistic leveling at carrying capacity, drawing together this chapter's growth-model and limiting-factor atoms.

Watch for

Assuming growth rate stays constant once density-dependent regulation begins is the error here — per capita growth rate falls continuously as density rises, bending an exponential trajectory into a logistic one.
