A limiting factor or limiting resource is a factor that controls a population s growth, such as organism growth or species population , size, or distribution. Limiting factors includes space, water, and food. The availability of food, predation pressure, or availability of shelter are examples of factors that could be limiting for an organism. An example of a limiting factor is sunlight in the rainforest , where growth is limited to all plants in the understory unless more light becomes available. A number of potential factors could influence a biological process, but importantly only one is limiting at any one place and time. This recognition that there is always a single limiting factor is vital in ecology and the concept has parallels in numerous other processes. Some other limiting factors in biology are water availability, temperature , shelter, or predation. See Liebig s Law .

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 An environmental gradient is a gradual change in abiotic factors through space or time . Environmental gradients can be related to factors such as altitude, temperature, depth, ocean proximity and soil humidity. Species Abundance ecology abundance s usually change along environmental gradients in a more or less predictive way. However, the species abundance along an envronmental gradient is not only determined by the abiotic factor but, also by the change in the biotic interaction s along the environmental gradient. At an ecotone , species Abundance ecology abundance s change relatively quick compared to the environmental gradient. The species distribution along environmental gradients has been studied intensively due to large databases of species presence data e.g. Global Biodiversity Information Facility GBIF Environmental Gradients are linked to Connectivity and natural disturbance when considering river systems.
