Answer 4

a limiting factor is a factor in an ecosystem that causes organisms to struggle with survival

this could be competition between organisms that have the same niche, limited resources, etc.

When these factors are taken away (decreased), do you think that the populations within the ecosystem and the diversity would increase or decrease?
