For example, if there are not enough prey animals in a forest to feed a large population of predators, then food becomes a limiting factor. Likewise, if there is not enough space in a pond for a large number of fish, then space becomes a limiting factor.  There can be many different limiting factors at work in a single habitat, and the same limiting factors can affect the populations of both plant and animal species.  U...
