competition
Factors that decrease population growth can be defined as environmental stress including limitations in food, predation, and other density-dependant factors
These density-independent factors include food or nutrient limitation, pollutants in the environment, and climate extremes, including seasonal cycles such as monsoons. In addition, catastrophic factors can also impact population growth, such as fires and hurricanes.
Inverse population density is when the population density decreases, the population growth rate also decreases. This is opposite to density dependent because here the population growth rate decreaes as population density increases.
These density-independent factors include food or nutrient limitation, pollutants in the environment, and climate extremes, including seasonal cycles such as monsoons. In addition, catastrophic factors can also impact population growth, such as fires and hurricanes.
The two typesof population growth are, Logistic Growth and Exponential Growth
A limiting factor is a factor that inhibits the growth of organisms within an ecosystem. Some examples include:DiseaseTemperatureWater availabilityFood availabilityShelter availability: space
competition for resources, predation, disease, and parasitism. These factors tend to have a stronger effect on population growth as population density increases.

Predation
An example of a density-dependent factor is competition for resources, such as food or space, which becomes more intense as a population increases, potentially leading to decreased growth rates or population decline. Conversely, a density-independent factor is a natural disaster, like a hurricane or wildfire, which can affect a population's growth regardless of its size by causing widespread mortality or habitat destruction. Both factors can significantly influence population dynamics, either by limiting growth as density increases or by causing sudden declines irrespective of population density.
the answer must be exponential growth model.
Abiotic factors such as temperature or rainfall are not density-dependent factors limiting population growth. These factors do not change in intensity depending on the size of the population.
