Answer 1

Answer:

The invasive European buckthorn invades a local forest preserve. Initially, the population of buckthorn rapidly increases, and then it begins to level off. This pattern of population growth most closely resembles Logistic growth. When the individuals of same specie lives in a region as a group, then they will be called as the population of that region. The rate of population growth usually increases in the area where all the resources like food and water are in abundance for its people. However, when these resources comes to an end or reduce then one can observe the decrease in population as well. When the individuals increases but the growth rate of population reduces, this phenomenon is called Logistic growth.
