∙ 12y agoWell, there are many density dependent factors in deserts. For example, if the desert in question is located in a tornado zone, a natural disaster, such as a tornado, would be a density dependent factor.
Also, disease could wipe out plants and/or animals no matter what climate. This is another example of a density dependent factor.
A drought would be another factor, as well as fire.
I hope this helps.

∙ 13y agoDensity-dependent factors include intra-species competition for resources, as well as reproduction rates, migration, predation, and parasitism.
Natural disasters (hurricanes, floods, volcanoes) and changes in climate are "density-independent" factors because the size of the population does not directly determine the effect of the factor.

Parasitism
What are the similarities between density-dependent factors and density- independent factors?
Density dependent factors are factors that depend of the population (density). Such as food, water, and space Density Independent factors are factors that the population (density) depends on. Such as weather, natural disasters and random occurances.
Density dependent limiting factor?
a) Definition:A density-dependent factor is one where the effect of the factor on the size of the population depends upon the original density or size of the population. A disease is a good example of a density-dependent factor. If a population is dense and the individuals live close together, then each individual will have a higher probability of catching the disease than if the individuals had been living farther apart. Not only will a greater number of individuals be affected, but, more importantly, a greater proportion of the population will be affected if they are living close together. For example, bird populations are often regulated more by this type of regulation.b) Characteristic of the factor:In general, density-dependent factors are biological factors, such as diseases, parasites, competition, and predation.
What kind of limiting factor depends on the population size?
Resources such as food, water, space for shelter are some.

What is the limiting factor on the population of arctic foxes?
density dependent
Is flooding a density-dependent factor?
No, Its a Density Independent
What is an density dependent factor?
A density dependent factor is a factor that is affected by the amount of organisms in a population. An example of this would be sickness, as the higher the density is, the more easily the sickness will spread.
Which of these is a density-dependent factor?
Space
What are density dependent factor?
Space
Are season cycles a density- dependent factor?
Crowding, disease, and competition are all density-dependent limiting factors EXCEPT, seasonal cycles. Seasonal cycles are NOT a density- dependent limiting factor.
