Resource availability is the only density-dependent factor affecting a population.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Density-dependent factors are those that are affected by the size and density of a population, such as competition for resources, predation, disease, and territoriality. Density-independent factors, on the other hand, affect populations regardless of their size and density, such as natural disasters, climate change, and human impacts. Therefore, resource availability is not the only density-dependent factor affecting a population.
