... 2 Kinds of limiting factors control population size: 1. Density-independent factors: limit populations regardless of their density Examples: climate, weather, floods, fires, pesticide use, pollutant release, and overhunting 2. Density-dependent factors: can cause birth rates to drop and/or death rat ...
