What is the role of density-dependent factors in population dynamics?
Density-dependent factors play a crucial role in regulating population growth.
How are density-dependent factors related to population growth?
How are density-dependent factors related to population growth?
These factors are variables that affect population growth in a way that is directly related to the population density.
What happens to density-dependent factors as a population's size increases?
What happens to density-dependent factors as a population's size increases?
As the population size increases, density-dependent factors become more intense, ultimately limiting growth.
