Ch 5 Populations 5.2 Limits to Growth

In its native Asia, populations of hydrilla increase in size until they reach carrying capacity, and then population growth stops. But here in the United States, hydrilla grows out of control.

Limiting Factors Thing(s) that affects the growth of a population.

Carrying Capacities and Limiting Factors What controls Horse populations Why Whitetail Deer Humans Why. 6

Density-Dependent Limiting Factors Occur at high population densities Competition, predation, herbivory, parasitism, disease, and stress from overcrowding.

Density-Independent Limiting Factors Affects all populations in similar ways Unusual weather such as hurricanes, droughts, or floods, and natural disasters such as wildfires.

True density Independence A very cold winter and heavy snowfall.
