Nature's Censorship of Population Growth

Your biology teacher lied to you. The maximum population an environment can handle is actually

called Censorship. Think about it. When a population has endless resources, it experiences exponential

growth, shooting straight up. But in the real world,

things run out. That’s when the environment steps in and "censors" the population.

This is a limiting factor, creating what’s called logistic growth,

where the population levels off. This "Censorship" is the maximum size the environment

can sustain. To survive, organisms use dispersal, spreading out to avoid hitting that

limit. So yeah, nature literally censors populations.
