Density Independent Factor

Real World Example

Imagine trying to plan an outdoor picnic, only to have it suddenly rained out. Just as a rainstorm disrupts your picnic plans regardless of how many people are attending, a cold climate can limit population growth independently of how large or small the population is. In both cases, the external factor—rain for your picnic and cold climate for population growth—affects the outcome regardless of other variables like the number of attendees or population size, highlighting how certain environmental conditions can play a decisive role irrespective of internal factors.
