What are boom and bust cycles?The boom and bust cycle applies to many populations like insects, birds, and mammals. The boom is when the population grows exponentially rapidly, it is then followed by a bust, which is when the population falls back to a minimal level.
Boom and bust cycles are like rollercoasters. The population grows only up, up, and up and eventually it reaches the bust cycle and it goes back down. The cycle starts over and over up and down, up and down.
