Limiting+factor

Limiting factor:

limiting resource is a factor that controls a process, such as organism growth or species population, size, or distribution. The availability of food, predation pressure, or availability of shelter is examples of factors that could be limiting for an organism.


 * example: ** the availability of good or shelter, water



this relates to ecology because:

if there is not enought shelter or food that an animal needs to survive the animal would have to start finding other ways to survive and it could be hard to interact with other organisms
