Limiting Factors. Limiting factors are factors present in an environment that control the growth, abundance, or distribution of a population of organisms in an ecosystem. The two types of limiting factors are density independent and density dependent limiting factors.ensity-dependent limiting factors affect the size and growth of a population based on population density. In Yellowstone, the competition for resources is a very important limiting factor. An increase in population size decreases the amount of available resources, which then limits the size and growth of a population.
