Question

Difference between the density dependent and dencity independent factor

Answer 1

The main difference between density-dependent factors and density-independent factors is that density-dependent factors affect only populations of certain sizes while density-independent factors affect populations in the same way, regardless of population size. Factors dependent on population density include illness, parasitism and scarcity of resources, while density-independent factors include weather phenomena, natural disaster and human activities, such as damming rivers and clearing forest areas and plains.
