Question

Discus how light become optimal and limiting factor in distribution of plant with proper example

Answer 1

A limiting factor is a resource or environmental condition which limits the growth, distribution or abundance of an organism or population within an ecosystem. These can be either physical or biological factors which can be identified through a response of increased or decreased growth, abundance, or distribution of a population, when the factor is changed and when the other factors necessary to life are not.

Limiting factors are theorized under Liebig’s Law of the Minimum, which states that “growth is not controlled by the total amount of resources available, but by the scarcest resource”.
