The J-shaped section of a time-series graph in which the curve falls into negative territory and then gradually rises to a higher level than before the decline. Basically think of a merry-go round

Answer:

An expontential growth followed by an abrupt stop

Step-by-step explanation:

A j-curve shaped graph means a given population started to grow rapidly in exponential form until for some reason it stops growing and decreases. The causes for this can be Seasonality of some species, Which growth peaks at a given season but at the change of seasons the environment is no more ideal for them and the growth starts decreasing. Other causes can be a population of organisms which breeding is so effective and numerous that in this phase they have exponential growth in their population.
