The Carrying Capacity of the Environment (K)
This graph shows the growth of a yeast population in culture. After a period of exponential growth, the size of the population begins to level off and soon reaches a stable value.

Very much so, because as the carrying capacity of the earth reaches its limit--probably during our lives--as populations expand, they come into greater and greater conflict with the maintenance of natural areas.
