þéttingarbreytingar
Þéttingarbreytingar, often translated as density-dependent population regulation, refers to the process by which factors that limit population growth become more intense as the population density increases. These factors, known as density-dependent factors, can include a variety of environmental pressures such as limited resources like food and water, increased predation, higher rates of disease transmission, and accumulation of waste products.
In a population experiencing increasing density, individuals compete more fiercely for scarce resources. This competition can
The concept of þéttingarbreytingar is crucial in understanding population dynamics and ecological stability. It suggests that
