A limiting factor is anything that restricts the number of individuals in a population
Population limiting factors are things that restrict the amount of a population from going over a certain point in an area. Some limiting factors are: Space: Too little space is a limiting factor. Imagine 20 people living in an apartment. Now 20 in a mansion. Food: Too little food is one. Imagine 20 people sharing one steak compared to 20 people eating 20 steaks.
Limiting factor
The population decreases.
Some limiting factors in population growth are food, water and space !!!!
A resource whose availability limits the size of a population is a limiting factor. Food is a limiting factor when there is not enough food available to feed the entire population. Any resource can be a limiting factor for population size.
limiting factor
Density-dependent limiting factor: A limiting factor whose effects depend on the size of the population depend on population density. The less dense the population, the less severe the effect of the limiting factor. Examples: Predation and disease Density-independent limiting factor: A limiting factor that has the same effect on a population regardless of its population density. Examples: Natural disasters and climate
the largest amount of a population that can be supported by an are is its limiting factor
