Question

population growth is limited by both density - dependent (biotic) and density - independent (abiotic) environmental factors. density - dependent and density - independent factors affect birth rates and death rates in different ways. state whether each of the following words or phrases relates more to density - dependent factors (dd) or to density - independent (di) factors.

1. have more effect when the population is larger
2. have less effect when the population is smaller
3. effect not dependent upon density of population
4. competition for food
5. fire
6. predation
7. stress produced by crowding
8. competition for nest sites
9. storms
10. drought
11. disease
12. heat and cold
13. habitat disruption by humans
14. cause populations to stabilize in size, presumably near carrying capacity
15. cause rapid population growth followed by unpredictable crashes
16. seem to cause boom and bust cycles among predators and prey
17. limit the snowshoe hare population
18. limit the lynx population
19. effects of the nonliving environment
20. effects of organisms
21. reduce clutch size as song sparrow population grows
22. responsible for lemming boom and bust population cycles
