How does competition limit a population growth?

Some of the factors that limit population growth includes parasitism, competition, predation, space availability and resources such as oxygen, water and food. The control of population growth is usually based on the limiting factors and the population interaction within a given ecosystem.

what is carrying capacity?

Birth control is what is most likely to limit human population growth.

Population growth is limited by the ability of the natural environment to sustain it. It can be limited by food shortages or a lack of shelter. Disease outbreaks can also limit population growth.

Shorter life expectancy, incurable disease, over population and not enough food can limit population growth

Competition for resources

Diseases and consumption of junk foods are some of the abiotic factors that can limit the growth in population.

The diseases will kill off the animals and plants living there which means that it is limiting the growth of the population.

They kill and harm eachother, thus decreasing population. Hope that helps :)

what are two factors in limiting the growth of a population? Density-Dependent Factors Density-Independent Factors

water can limit popultion by keeping more people alive and hen they can reproduce

Competition also can be modeled by examining resources rather than population growth equations.

There is a limit to available resources and all organisms in an ecosystem compete for those resources. Those that are better adapted, will obtain higher amounts of those resources leaving less for those that do not have the best abilities. These organisms that did not obtain all the resources they needed will die therefore controlling population growth and the size of the population.

There is more competition for resources, i.e. food and space

The competition for food and space controls the growth of natural populations. This is because the more food and space a species has the larger the population is able to grow.

The Chinese government sought to limit population by using legislation to encourage couples to only have one child.

A high protective tariff can limit foreign competition.

Through a lack of land to grow food, and the increase in population there is a lack in food supply, leading to even more starvation death rates to rise, limiting the population growth
