What might cause exponential growth to occur only for a short period when a new species is introduced to a resource -filled environment?

Exponential growth of a newly introduced species may occur initially due to abundant resources and a lack of natural predators, allowing the population to expand rapidly. However, this growth is often short-lived as the species quickly depletes available resources, leading to competition among individuals. Additionally, environmental factors or the eventual introduction of predators or diseases can further limit growth, resulting in a population crash as the ecosystem reaches a new equilibrium.
