Nearly all populations will tend to grow exponentially as long as there are resources available. After an initial period of exponential growth, a population will encounter one or more limiting factors that will cause the exponential growth to stop. The population enters a slower growth phase and may stabilize at a fairly constant population size or in some cases, may decline. Limiting factors can be classified as either density-dependent or density-independent. Drag each phrase/term to the correct column.

The population density changes over time in a geographical place. The population density is affected by the density-dependent and density-independent limiting factors.

What are density-dependent factors?

Density-dependent factors are those factors, which can positively or negatively impact the population size. The factors that affect the size, growth, and density of the population are density-dependent, such as disease, migration, biomass, predation, and competition.

What are density-independent factors?

Density-independent factors are those factors, which are not affected by the size, population, or density of the population. The factors include volcanoes, climate change, earthquakes, pollution, and drought.

Thus, the density-dependent and independent limiting factors can positively or negatively impact the population size.
