Question

a fire destroy a forest ecosystem reducing the carrying capacity of the forest. what type of limiting factor is this? density dependent density independent

Explanation:

A density - independent limiting factor is one that affects a population regardless of its density. A fire is an environmental event (abiotic factor) that can destroy a forest ecosystem. It does not depend on the density of the organisms in the forest. For example, a fire can occur and reduce the carrying capacity whether there are many or few organisms in the forest. In contrast, density - dependent factors (like competition for food or predation) are influenced by the number of organisms in a population.

Answer:

Density Independent
