Carrying capacity is the maximum population of a species that the resources of its habitat can support. Sudden extreme decrease in population is also known as population crash. Exponential growth is population increase where the rate of growth stays the same but numbers increase at an accelerating rate. Logistics growth is represented with S-curve (population increase that is slow, then accelerating, then slowing and finally leveling off).
