Explanation:

• Limited growth implies restricted resources.
• Logistic growth occurs when resources are limited (follows an S - curve).
• Exponential growth ($N_t = N_0e^{rt}$, where $N_t$ is the population at time $t$, $N_0$ is the initial population, $r$ is the growth rate) assumes unlimited resources (follows a J - curve).
• Negative growth means a decrease in population.

Answer:

exponential
