Definition
Glossary of "Life (9th ed.)" by Sadava et al. (2011)
- Growth, especially in the number of organisms in a population, which is a geometric function of the size of the growing entity: the larger the entity, the faster it grows. (Contrast with logistic growth.)
Glossary of "Evolution (4th ed.)" by Futuyma & Kirkpatrick (2017)
- Nonlinear increase (or decrease) of a property (e.g., body size, population size) over time, described by an exponential equation.
Glossary of "Environmental Science: Earth as a Living Planet (2nd ed.)" by Botkin & Keller (1998)
- Growth in which the rate of increase is a constant percentage of the current size; that is, the growth occurs at a constant rate per time period. (geometric growth)
