1. A graph curve that depicts the situation in which an organism's population density increases rapidly in an exponential or logarithmic form in a new environment, but then abruptly stops.

S-shaped curve:

1. A growth pattern in which, in a new environment, an organism's population density increases slowly at first, in a positive acceleration phase; then rapidly, approaching an exponential growth rate.
