In recent years, terms like going green and eco-friendly have become buzz words on talk shows, commercials and product packaging. The term eco-friendly has been used for so many different products and practices, its meaning is in danger of being lost.
The abiotic factors of temperate grasslands include low rainfall, moderate humidity, large temperature differences between winter and summer, seasonal fires and rich nutrients in the soil's upper layers. Temperate zones are regions between the tropics and poles, and abiotic factors are an ecosystem's nonliving parts.
In the context of populations, a limiting factor is a factor that causes population growth to decrease. Density-Dependent Factors Density-Dependent Factors A limiting factor that depends on population size is called a density-dependent limiting factor. Density-Dependent Factors Density-dependent limiting factors include: â¢ competition â¢ predation â¢ parasitism â¢ disease Density-Dependent Factors Density-dependent factors operate only when the population density reaches a certain level. These factors operate most strongly when a population is large and dense. They do not affect small, scattered populations as greatly. Density-Dependent Factors Competition When populations become crowded, organisms compete for food, water space, sunlight and other essentials. Competition among members of the same species is a density-dependent limiting factor. Density ...
