Answer: Carry Capacity

Step-by-step explanation:

There are species of organisms that appear to reproduce exponentially from the start (usually R-species). They eventually reach their carrying capacity (the maximum capacity that the surrounding environment can support. This causes a plateau forming a logistical growth as there is increase competition, less space to live, etc.

Hope this helps :)
