Answer: The correct answer is D. Natural disaster

The density dependent factors are those whose impact on the population growth is different with varying population density.

In the given options, A. Predation B. Parasitism C. Competition are density dependent limiting factor. This is because they all are dependent on population density. For instance, competition for food and other resources is high when there is large population in a particular area.

On the contrary, Natural disaster is not a density-dependent limiting factor. This is because its impact is not dependent on the number of individuals. For example- Earthquake is a natural disaster, which causes damage to all the life forms irrespective of the population size.

Thus, in an ecosystem, Natural disaster is not a density-dependent limiting factor.

Answer:

how changes in biodiversity impact an ecosystem

Explanation:

Water hyacinth is a free-floating perennial aquatic plant. This plant is native to tropical and sub-tropical South America. As an invasive species, when it grows in the new environment causes severe ecological or economic harm. By growing where it not native, it can spread extremely fast, blanketing a water surface in a very short period of time. It can limit boat traffic, swimming, and fishing, and it can deprive native plants and animals of sunlight and oxygen, thus reducing the local biodiversity.

This is how an ecosystem effects biodiversity impact. When a biological species grows in the new environment, It can affect the biodiversity or environment that can affect the biological species.
