1. Food..and..water..are..density..dependent..factors...This..means..that..the..
supply..of..them..fluctuates..with..the..population...For..example,..this..ec
osystem..has..enough..food..to..maintain..the..population..at..3500,..once..
the..population..goes..past..this..limit..there..is..no..longer..enough..food..t
o..support..this..ecosystem...This..causes..the..population..to..die..off..until
..it..is..at..a..number..below..the..carrying..capacity. ..Climate..change..can..

affect..resources. . that. . can. . make. . the. . carrying. . capacity. . for. . the. . eco
system..lower..such..as..a..drought...When..weather..and..climate..change.
