how does a density independent factors influence carrying capacity?
308477
Density-dependent limiting factors cause a population's per capita growth rate to change—typically, to drop—with increasing population density. One example is competition for limited food among members of a population. Density-independent factors affect per capita growth rate independent of population density.

Factors include: food availability, predator density and disease risk. Density-independent factors are not influenced by a species population size. All species populations in the same ecosystem will be similarly affected, regardless of population size. Factors include: weather, climate and natural disasters.

Density-independent limiting factors affect all populations in similar ways, regardless of population size and density. Unusual weather such as hurricanes, droughts, or floods, and natural disasters such as wildfires, can act as density-independent limiting factors.

The most important factors affecting effective production capacity are: 1. Process design. In multistage production processes the maximum rate of output that can be achieved is governed by the slowest lowest capacity stage.

The importance of capacity decisions relates to their potential impact on the ability of the organization to meet future demand for products and services; capacity essentially limits the rate of output possible. The importance of capacity stems from the relationship between capacity and operating costs.

density-independent factor Any factor limiting the size of a population whose effect is not dependent on the number of individuals in the population. An example of such a factor is an earthquake, which will kill all members of the population regardless of whether the population is small or large.

Objects that are denser have a greater concentration of mass, thus creating a larger gravitational pull than a same-sized object with lower density—i.e., a cubic foot of solid rock will exert a larger pull on its surroundings than a cubic foot of ocean.

Density-dependent factors include disease, competition, and predation. Density-dependant factors can have either a positive or a negative correlation to population size. With a positive relationship, these limiting factors increase with the size of the population and limit growth as population size increases.

Some are density-dependent, while others are density-independent. Density-dependent limiting factors cause a population's per capita growth rate to change—typically, to drop—with increasing population density. ... Density-independent factors affect per capita growth rate independent of population density.

Density-independent factor, also called limiting factor, in ecology, any force that affects the size of a population of living things regardless of the density of the population (the number of individuals per unit area).

Density-dependent regulation can be affected by factors that affect birth and death rates such as competition and predation. Density-independent regulation can be affected by factors that affect birth and death rates such as abiotic factors and environmental factors, i.e. severe weather and conditions such as fire.

Any object that is denser than water displaces less volume of water than its own weight. This causes a resultant force downwards where weight is greater than upthrust so the object sinks.

The density dependent factors are factors whose effects on the size or growth of the population vary with the population density. There are many types of density dependent limiting factors such as; availability of food, predation, disease, and migration. However the main factor is the availability of food.

What is the difference between a density-dependent limiting factor and density-independent limiting factor? Density-dependent are affected by number of individuals in a given area (ex. food, disease, predation, competition); Density-independent are factors in the environment that limit the growth of a population (ex.

Stream capacity is a measure of the total sediment (material other than water) a stream can carry. Stream competence reflects the ability of a stream to transport a particular size of particle (e.g., boulder, pebble, etc).

What four factors determine the growth rate of a population? Immigration, births, emigration, and death determines growth rate of population. How does carrying capacity affect the size of population?

Carrying Capacity is the total frequency of individuals within a community a habitat can sustain. Limiting Factors are biotic or abiotic factors which limit the carrying capacity. For example, within a population of foxes, there is enough space and water for 20 individuals.
