How do limiting factors affect the carrying capacity of environment?
they cause individuals to dieoff or leave
What is the difference between carrying capacity and biotic potential?
carrying capacity is the largest number of individuals of one species that an environment can support. Biotic potential is the potential growth of a population if it could grow in perfect conditions with no limiting factors.
What are limiting factors?
Limiting factors are resources or environmental conditions that restrict the growth, abundance, or distribution of a population within an ecosystem. Examples include food availability, water supply, shelter, space, and presence of predators. When a limiting factor is in short supply, it can prevent a population from increasing further.
What is the term for the maximum number of individual that an ecosystem can support?
As much as the main limiting factors in that ecosystem will allow: it is always a balance between the species production rate, their vital resources and predation. More detailed answer will depend on the species and the ecosystem. Good example are bacterial blooms in oligotrophic waters, which occur as soon as the normally limiting factors disappear (usually one of the nutrients added to the system by some kind of advection), and themselves disappear as soon as the carrying capacity is reached and the nutrients depleted.
What are biotic limiting factors?
A limiting factor is something that holds back a species from developing.Abiotic limiting factors could be:* temperature * water * climate * soil Biotic limiting factors could be:* Biological factors: Interactions with other organisms * Competitive Exclusion: species prevented from occupying another area because of another species' presence * Predator/Parasitism: individual "eats" other individual * Amensalism: interactions that inhibit * Mutualism: symbiosis, mutual beneficial interactionsdisease, bacteria, it depends on what ecostsystem
Does limiting factors determine the immigration capacity of a population?
yup
What are some limiting factors?
Climate,lack of shelter, sicknesses and parasites, food or water as well as the carrying capacity are examples of limiting factors.

What are limiting factors what are some examples?

Why don't population grow exponentially?
Because of Limiting Factors (environmental factors that prevent a population from increasing). Biotic Limiting Factors = Living organisms; Abiotic Limiting Factors = Nonliving organisms.Other factors include: Death Rate, Birth Rate, Carrying Capacity, Predation
How do the limiting factors affect the carrying capacity of an environment?

When are resources such as water food or sunlight most likely to be limiting factors?
Resources such as water, food, or sunlight are most likely to be limiting factors when a population is approaching the carrying capacity.
What are so limiting factors in and ecosystem?
Limiting factors in an ecosystem are environmental conditions that restrict the growth, abundance, or distribution of a particular species. These factors can include availability of food, water, shelter, space, and suitable habitat, as well as competition with other species and predation pressure. When one or more of these factors are in short supply, they can limit the population size and overall biodiversity of an ecosystem.
What happens to species when the carrying capacity has been met?
the species begin to die off because of limiting factors
What happens to species when carrying capacity has been met?
the species begin to die off because of limiting factors
What are the limiting factors that may effect the carrying capacity of Lake Erie?
Water level fluctuations brought on by drought or flooding.
What Limiting factors determine an areas carrying capacity?
The factors are: Food, Environment, Water, and Space. If any one of them will be gone, say if food is gone, the carrying capacity is not going to be affected since the population will go down. But if all of the factors are available, the carrying capacity will increase since there are all resources available for every species And the carrying capacity would decrease a little because the factors would be limitedAmount of land available, food and water accessibility, etc.Both limiting factors and carrying capacity have to do with population. Limiting factors limit the population from increasing. carrying capacity is the maximum amount of organisms that can live in an area.1.Sources of food supply2.Prey and predator3.Human activity4.Etc.
