population growth begins to slow down
A population that is experiencing exponential growth is typically fast. Exponential growth refers to a constant growth rate where the population size increases exponentially over time. This means that the population doubles at a regular interval, leading to a rapid increase in numbers.

An exponential model has a j-shaped growth rate that increases dramatically over a period of time with unlimited resources. A logistic model of population growth has a s-shaped curve with limited resources leading to a slow growth rate.

exponential
When a population's growth slows or stops after exponential growth, it may reach its carrying capacity. This is the maximum number of individuals that an environment can support due to limited resources. The population stabilizes and can fluctuate around this carrying capacity.
If resources are limitless than a population's growth will be exponential. Growth will be logistic in cases where there are limited resources. As the population grows closer to the logistical limit, the overall growth will slow.
Exponential growth occurs when numbers increase by a certain factor in each successive time period. Logistic growth is population growth that starts with a minimum number of individuals and reaches a maximum depending on the carrying capacity of the habitat. In exponential growth population grows slowly when it's small, but as the population gets larger, growth speeds up. In logistic growth, when the population is small, the growth rate is fast because there are plenty of natural resources. (Logistic) As the population approaches the carrying capacity, resources become scarce. Completion for food, shelter and mates increases between individuals of a population. As a result, the growth rate slows. Exponential growth, grows fast in the beginning and then slows down. Logistic growth grows slow in the beginning and then speeds up.
exponential (<-----Apex)
A population growth curve typically consists of four phases – lag phase, exponential growth phase, stationary phase, and decline phase. The lag phase is a period of slow growth as the population adapts to the environment. Exponential growth phase is characterized by rapid population increase. Stationary phase occurs when the population stabilizes due to limited resources. Decline phase happens when the population starts to decrease due to factors like competition or predation.
