Limiting Factors and their Effect on Carrying Capacity

A limiting factor is something that can be abiotic or biotic ( living or nonliving) that can cause a population to go up and down. A biotic limiting factor could be a wolf. Since the population is high and the coyotes are hunting them the population will go down. 

  An abiotic limiting factor could be a fire or any other natural disaster.Floods have an effect because they could cover all of their habitat and food in water. Fire has an effect on the population of rabbits because it could burn there habitat and food, some rabbits could even drowned.
