Sure, I'd be happy to help with that! Here are the matching terms with their definitions:
1. Logistic growth
- Slowing growth at this level
2. Population crash
- Results from overstooting the maximum
3. Carrying capacity
- Results from an abundance of resources
4. Exponential growth
- Growth increases, accelerates, then slows
In ecological terms, logistic growth refers to the pattern where a population's growth rate slows down as it approaches its carrying capacity, which is the maximum population size an environment can sustain. When a population surpasses the carrying capacity, it can lead to a population crash due to limited resources causing a decline in population size. On the other hand, exponential growth describes a rapid increase in population size without constraints, leading to a phase of accelerating growth before slowing down.
