How much growth can an ecosystem support?
Change the carrying capacity and growth rate. Compare the shape and endpoint of the curve.

Model & assumptions
N(t) = K / [1 + ((K − N₀)/N₀)e⁻ʳᵗ]
Idealized logistic growth. N₀ = 20; K and r remain fixed within each curve. No migration, time delays, or random disturbances.
