description New reaction network realizations of the Gompertz and logistic growth models are proposed. The proposed reaction networks involve an additional species interpreted as environmental resource. Some natural generalizations and modifications of the Gompertz and the logistic models, induced by the proposed networks, are formulated and discussed. In particular, it is shown that the induced dynamical systems can be reduced to one dimensional differential equations for the growth (resp. decay) species. The reaction network formulation of the proposed models suggest hints for the intrinsic mechanism of the modeled growth process and can be used for analyzing evolutionary measured data when testing various appropriate models, especially when studying growth processes in life sciences.
