Random
300
Two be or not two be - this could happen any day with equal opportunity  
Type 2
300
This extraordinary type of curve results from population growth with abundant resources
Exponential
300
This VORE eats the dead
Detrivore
300
Starts with more than rock
Secondary Succession
400
Territoriality and intricacies competition for limited resources lead to individuals living at specific intervals from each other.
Uniform
400
The type of curve at the top of the graph
Type 1
400
This puts a damper on population growth, logistically
Carrying Capacity
400
A producer is this TROPH

Autotroph


400
This limiting factor is a hurricane
Density Independent
500
Groups may facilitate mating, gaining protection, or access to food resources
Clumped
500
The Invertebrate Curve 
Type 3
500
Carrying Capacity is this
The max number of organisms an ecosystem can handle.   
500
The autotroph is NOT a plant
A chemo-synthetic organism
500
This limiting factor is food and shelter
Density Dependent
