Populations B-6.2

Populations Population is a group of organisms belonging to the same species that live in a particular area. Populations can be described by their size, density, and distribution.

Population Density Population density measures the number of individual organisms living in a defined space. Regulation of a population is affected by limiting factors that include density-dependent, density-independent, abiotic, and biotic factors.

Density-dependent Limiting factors that density-dependent are those that operate more strongly on large populations than small ones. Density-dependent limiting factors include competition, predation, parasitism, and disease. These limiting factors are triggered by increases in population density (crowding).

Density-Independent Limiting factors that are density-independent are those that occur regardless of how large the population is and reduce the size of all populations in the area in which they occur by the same proportion. Density-independent factors are mostly abiotic (such as weather changes), human activities (such as pollution), and natural disasters (such as fires).

Abiotic and biotic factors Limiting factors that can change within an ecosystem an may affect a population.  Abiotic factors may be chemical or physical. Some examples are water, nitrogen, oxygen, salinity, pH, soil nutrients and composition, temperature, amount of sunlight, and precipitation.  Biotic factors include all of the living components of an ecosystem. Some examples are bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals.

Abiotic and biotic factors  A change in an abiotic or biotic factor may decrease the size of a population if it cannot acclimate or adapt to or migrate from the change. A change may increase the size of a population if that change enhances its ability to survive, flourish or reproduce.
