Population growth is considered as the increase in the total number of individual present in a population. Exponential and logistic growth are the two types of population growth.
The following are the differences between the two types of population growth:
1. Exponential growth makes a J-shaped curve. Logistic growth makes tha S-shaped curve.
2. Exponential growth takes place when the supply is plentiful. Logistic growth takes place when it is limited.
3. Exponential growth is considered as in proportion to the size of the population. Logistic growth is affected by the birth and death rate.
4. Exponential growth is described as a population that is expanding rapidly and is not affected by upper limit. Logistic growth is the rate of growth that is sustainable and has an upper limit of growth.
5. Exponential growth may lead to explosion of population. Logistic growth maintains a logical equillibrium of birth and death rate.
