Limiting Factors: Limiting factors on land include: temperature, weather, light, water, competition, and the soil composition. (1) The amount of precipitation and sunlight are a limiting factor of both plant and animals.(1) There are two types of limiting factors: density dependent limiting factors and density independent limiting factors.
Density Independent Limiting Factors:
def. factors that are limiting factors that affect all populations regardless of their densities. Examples of these types of limiting factors include: parasites that spread a disease quickly, national disasters, human activities (like deforestation and pollution), temperature, and weather. (2) |
Density Dependent Limiting Factors:
def. factors can only affect a population when it reaches a certain density . For example, competition, predation, disease, parasitism, crowding, and stress are all factors that only affect populations with high densities. (2) |
Food Web of the Taiga Biome at Zabaikalsky National Park in Russia:
def: A food webs are food chains in a singular ecosystem that are tied together by similar relationships between the food chains. (11)

Energy Pyramid of the Taiga Biome at Zabaikalsky National Park in Russia:
def- An energy pyramid shows the trophic efficiency (or the percentage of production transfer from one trophic level [energy level] to the next). There is only 10% of the energy left to transfer between trophic levels, and this is why the producers need to have the largest base to support a significant number of quaternary consumers. (11).
