Detailed explanation-1: -Density independent factors tend to be abiotic factors, such as storms, floods or harsh winters.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -These density-independent factors include food or nutrient limitation, pollutants in the environment, and climate extremes, including seasonal cycles such as monsoons. In addition, catastrophic factors can also impact population growth, such as fires and hurricanes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Density-independent limiting factors often take the form of natural disasters, severe weather, and pollution.
Detailed explanation-5: -Natural disaster is a perfect example of a density independent factor.
