No, because no natural population will ever approach a size large enough to consume all the air in the atmosphere.
Density-independent limiting factors do not typically affect small scattered populations as much, as they are not dependent on the population size or density. Examples include natural disasters like hurricanes or forest fires.
Predation by natural predators like wolves or mountain lions can limit the deer population. Availability of food sources, such as browse and vegetation, can restrict the growth of deer populations. Disease outbreaks, such as chronic wasting disease or parasitic infections, can also act as limiting factors on deer populations.
An antonym for a density-dependent limiting factor is a density-independent limiting factor. While density-dependent factors, such as disease or competition, have effects that vary based on population density, density-independent factors, like natural disasters or climate conditions, impact populations regardless of their density. This distinction highlights how different factors can influence population dynamics in ecological systems.
limiting factor
A density dependent factor is a limiting factor that depends on population size. A Density-independent limiting factor affects all populations in similar ways, regardless of the population size. Its in my biology book.
One limiting factor in bird populations is cats.

Density Independent
Food availability is a determining factor.
Food availability is a determining factor.
Weather is a factor that prevents a population from increasing. Or the term for it is called Limiting Factor
Food availability is a determining factor.

One limiting factor that affects populations in similar ways is climate change. Changes in temperature, precipitation patterns, and extreme weather events can impact access to resources like food and water, as well as influence disease spread and habitat availability. These effects can be seen across different populations, regardless of their size.
