Summary Introduction

To explain: In which case the exponential growth of the population of plants is more likely to occur: an area of the undisturbed forest or an area, where the destruction of forest by fire had occurred.

Concept introduction: The population of the species possesses the potential for expanding at a higher rate when there are abundant resources. There are certain populations, where the resources are abundant, and the population is free to reproduce. These types of population increases in size at a constant rate. Thus, It is called as the exponential growth of the population.
