A Limiting Factor is a factor or resource that controls a process. A density-dependent is where a large, crowded population is more affected by a limiting factor than a small, less crowded population. Some examples are parasites, competition for the little vegetation avaliable in the desert, and diseases.
A density Independent factor is an abiotic factor like weather that affects an environment regardless of its size. Some examples of density independent factors are the high temperatures of the desert, the lack of water in a desert, and wind causing sand storms.
