Read and highlight ways limiting factors affect the population growth. Examples of how limiting factors affect population growth Abiotic (nonliving) limiting factors include things like wildfire, hurricanes, pollutants, droughts, floods and seasonal climate extremes. These factors limit all populations in a given area regardless of the size of the population. For example, a wildfire that sweeps through a dense forest in the Everglades has a big impact on every population in the ecosystem, regardless of how big the population is. Limiting factors can also be biotic-having to do with living organisms. Competition and predation are examples of biotic living factors. Organisms compete for available resources like food, water, and shelter. If the resources are plentiful then the populations can increase because there is less competition. If the resources are decreased in an area, competition increases and population size decreases. For example Mountain chickadees (Parus gambeli) compete for a special kind of nest site-tree holes. These little cavities are excavated and then abandoned by woodpeckers. Scientists who added new nest sites in one expanse of forest saw the chickadee nesting population increase significantly, because it decreased the competition for shelter in that area.

Biogeography

The study of plants, animals, and other living things in terms of their geographic distribution is referred to as biogeography. Biogeography is usually examined in coexistence with ecological and historical variables that have affected organisms' spatial distribution across time. It is not only based on the habitation patterns; it is also about the reasons that cause differences in distribution. Biogeographic studies divide the Earth's surface into diverse flora and fauna compositions, notably the continents and islands. Biogeography is a field of science, but physical geographers have made vital commitments, especially in flora. Biogeography is a multidisciplinary field of study that combines concepts and data from ecology, evolutionary biology, taxonomy, geology, physical geography, paleontology, and climatology.

Types of Climate

The weather pattern in a long-term process in a locality, region, or even over the entire globe is known as climate. Generally, it is decided by calculating an average of thirty years' weather in a region. In that sense, the weather and climate are different.

Biome

It is defined as a definite community of animals and plants residing together in a climate. Each (plants and animals) having a characteristic appearance and distributed over a wide geographical area defined largely by regional climatic conditions.
