There are many abiotic and biotic factors that can limit populations in an ecosystem.
The usual response in the population size of many species in regard to a density-independent limiting factor is for the population to decrease in size. Floods, wildfires, and droughts are examples of density-independent limiting factors.
A density dependent factor is a limiting factor that depends on population size. A Density-independent limiting factor affects all populations in similar ways, regardless of the population size. Its in my biology book.
Density- independent factors :D
The three limiting factors are food, water, and shelter.
There are many abiotic and biotic factors that can limit populations in an ecosystem.
Limiting factors are environmental conditions that restrict the growth, abundance, or distribution of a population. These factors can include resources like food, water, space, or shelter, as well as predation, disease, or competition with other species. When a limiting factor becomes scarce, it can lead to reduced reproductive success, increased mortality, or migration of individuals, ultimately affecting the population's size and health.
Some limiting factors in population growth are food, water and space !!!!
density independent limiting factor
Climate,lack of shelter, sicknesses and parasites, food or water as well as the carrying capacity are examples of limiting factors.
it is an environmental factor that causes a population to decrease.
It is impossible for a population to exist if it does not have access to the required limiting factors, and one essential of those factors is they balance the number of population in an area.
Limiting factors are environmental conditions that restrict the growth, abundance, or distribution of a population. These factors include food availability, predation, disease, and space. When a population reaches its carrying capacity, or the maximum number of individuals that the environment can support, limiting factors prevent further growth by reducing birth rates, increasing death rates, or causing individuals to emigrate.

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.
