Question

The Serengeti plains are part of the African savanna ecosystem and are home to a variety of different species of plants and animals. The Serengeti plains experience a seven-month period of seasonal drought each year, during which the ecosystem receives only four inches of rain and the availability of some resources becomes very scarce. Which type of limiting factors does the seasonal drought in the Serengeti plains affect? density-independent factors density-dependent factors population-dependent factors population-independent factors

Answer 1

The answer is “density-independent factors”.

This type of factor actually shows the factors that influence the death or birth rate of the population.

Also, it shows the effect the total density of population.

This type of system works on the basis of physical factors of the environment that are unrelated to the population demand.

These type of system works as per the environment calamities.

Answer 2

Density independent factor is the correct answer.

Density-independent factors, such as weather and climate, exert their influences on population size regardless of the population's density. In contrast, the effects of density-dependent factors intensify as the population increases in size. For example, some diseases spread faster in populations where individuals live. Thus it is a density independent factor.
