1.).Food, shelter, water, and sunlight are just a few examples of limiting abiotic factors that limit the size of populations. In a desert environment, these resources are even scarcer, and only organisms that can tolerate such tough conditions survive there.
2.).Abiotic or physical limiting factors are non-living things such as temperature, wind, climate, sunlight, rainfall, soil composition, natural disasters, and pollution.
3.).Some examples of limiting factors are biotic, like food, mates, and competition with other organisms for resources. Others are abiotic, like space, temperature, altitude, and amount of sunlight available in an environment. Limiting factors are usually expressed as a lack of a particular resource.
4.).Biotic factors have been divided into three main categories, which define their distinctive role in the ecosystem:
*Producers (Autotrophs)
*Consumers (heterotrophs)
*Decomposers (detritivores
5.).*(1) keystone species*(2) predators,
*(3) energy, *(4) available space, and *(5) food supply. In biology, the term limiting factor is defined as an environmental factor or variable that has the capacity to restrict growth, abundance, or distribution of a population in an ecosystem.
