Key Concepts

Abiotic Factors

Abiotic factors are the non-living elements in an ecosystem that affect organisms and their populations. Components such as weather, climate, and resource availability shape the environmental conditions that determine the growth and decline of populations.

Limiting Factors

Limiting factors are specific aspects of the environment that restrict the growth, distribution, or abundance of a population. Both biotic (like predation and parasitism) and abiotic (such as weather and resource availability) factors can serve as constraints, ultimately influencing population stability and evolution.

Population Dynamics

Population dynamics is the study of how and why populations change over time. It involves understanding the patterns and mechanisms that influence growth, decline, and fluctuations in population size, including factors such as birth rates, death rates, immigration, and emigration.

Biotic Factors

Biotic factors are the living components in an environment that affect population growth through interactions like predation, parasitism, and competition. These interactions between organisms can directly influence survival rates and reproductive success within populations.
