Submitted by: Administrator

The factors that limit the growth of a population can be divided into biotic factors and abiotic factors. The main abiotic limiting factors are availability of water and light, availability of shelter. The main limiting biotic factors are population density and inharmonious (negative) ecological interactions (competition, predatism, parasitism, ammensalism).
