consider the model of a hypothetical rabbit population. over time
the rabbit population thrives, reproduces, and grows. if the ecosystem
remains stable as the population grows, would any abiotic limiting
factors develop? if yes, what would they be?
yes. as the population grows, available food and
space could become limited
yes. a growing population means increased disease
will be a limiting factor
no. if the ecosystem remains stable the rabbit
population will continue to grow.
no. as the population grows, the death rate increases
so there are enough resources for all
