Limiting Factors

Limiting factors are anything that effect a population's size either positively or negatively.  We often relate them to the basic survival skills of food, water, and shelter.
This past week we looked at three different species populations' to observe how these things effect their population sizes.
We also focused on carrying capacity - or the limit to how big a population can get for a certain area.
It was a great week with very active labs!
