Yes, nitrogen serves as a limiting element for plant development since there is a finite amount of nitrogen in the soil, and plants compete for it.
rocks and dirt
my bio book (human body systems -structure, function, and environment) says the limiting factor is Phosphate (page 124 under ecosystems)
Natural disaster,temperature,light,lack of food, and predator.
Water level fluctuations brought on by drought or flooding.
Some limiting factors in a pond, or lake would be: - Competition for food. ( other animals might take too much food and another animal might die from this.) - Weather/tempature. ( the weather might be really hot, and too much water could evaporate, wich would call for some fish, tadpoles to die.) I dont know how many you need to know, but I hope I helped you.
Temperatures
Factors that limit aquatic life are - Temperature - Access to sunlight - Dissolved oxygen concentrations - Availability of nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus

An algae bloom occurs.
An algae bloom begins to occur.
Respiration. Also, if the fish die, they slowly return the nitrogen to the air.
