Question

How do you identify limiting factors?

Answer 1

Limiting factors

1. Any environmental element that inhibits the growth, metabolic activities, or distribution of organisms or populations by its decline, rise, absence, or presence is known as a limiting factor.
2. These are the resources or environmental factors that restrict an ecosystem's ability to spread or expand.
3. Low rainfall and high temperatures, for example, will hinder colonization in a desert ecosystem.
4. Photosynthesis, for example, is affected by numerous parameters, including light, temperature, and carbon dioxide concentration.
5. However, on a warm bright day, carbon dioxide concentration will be the limiting factor because light and temperature are at optimal levels.
