Day 3-
In just three days we have experienced so much! We were curious as to what density dependent and independent factors were in the Tropical Rainforest biome!

Have you ever heard of Density Independent and Dependent factors? Well, they are very common in many different biomes.
Density Dependent factors are factors that are changed due to population of a certain species or a combination of species. Some examples include predators hunting more of a specific prey in an area due to increase in a population or a food supply of a species declining.

Density- Independent factors are factors that are NOT changed due to the population of a certain species or a group of species. Some examples of these are deforestation caused by humans and natural disasters such as earthquakes and tropical storms.


Here is a picture of the deforestation we have seen, which is a density Independent factor.
