Logistic Growth

Mr. Andersen explains logistic growth, contrasting it with exponential growth using rabbits as an example. He introduces the concept of carrying capacity, demonstrating how populations reach a limit due to resource constraints. The video includes models like Minecraft and NetLogo to visualize logistic growth. Mathematical equations for both growth types are discussed, and the video concludes with a comparison of r-selected and K-selected species, highlighting their different growth strategies.
