It is called a limiting factor.
it is an environmental factor that causes a population to decrease.
the factor that causes a population to stop increassing is called depopulation
abiotic resource. Examples include environmental factors like drought, temperature extremes, or pollution that can directly affect the survival or reproduction of a population, leading to a decrease in population size.
Pollution was a small factor but the largest factor is the spread of the Asian Carp which feed on algae and surface insects. This causes a disruption in the entire river ecosystem all the way to the largemouth bass causing a decrease in available food and therefore a decrease in population.

the climate
More predators so the population would decrease :(

The general term for an environmental factor that causes a population to decrease is a limiting factor. Some examples are emigration and mortality, a lack of resources, natural disasters happen which makes people scared to to live there so the people flee, and habitat loss.
called a limiting factor. These factors can include food availability, predation, disease, competition for resources, and habitat destruction. When limiting factors become too severe, they can lead to a decrease in population size.
It can go in either direction and the mechanism that causes it is still not understood
