Ecology - Populations Density Independent Factors Factors that affect population that do not get worse as population increases. Eg. Fire, Storms, Earthquakes, Floods
Ecology - Populations Interspecific Competition Competition for resources between individuals of different species. Eg. Competition for food, water, space…
