Which of the following is NOT a density-dependent factor affecting population growth?

sveta [45]

<u>Temperature</u> is NOT a density-dependent factor affecting population growth

Explanation:

Density-dependent factors mean variables that are affected by the density of the population. The opposite of density-depend is density-independent factors. These are those variables that affect the density of the population but are not affected by the density of the population.

In this case, temperatures are not affected by the density of the population. However, temperatures affect the density of the population. Most individuals can only survive within an optimal temperature range.

The rest of the choices are density-dependent variables
