What are the differences between density-independent and density-dependent limiting factors?

Density independent means that the limiting factors are not dependent on the number of individuals in the population. For example, an earthquake will kill individuals in a population no matter if the population is large or small.

A density dependent limiting factor means that the effect is dependent on how many individuals there is in a population. For example, a disease will have greater effect in a large population since it would be spread to more individuals.

increase soil erosion                                             reduce soil erosion

cattle grazing                                                         hydroseeding

deforestation                                                         contour plowing

                                                                                planting vegetation

plant roots basically hold the top soil

together and stop soil erosion because

in such situation top soil is not removed

during flood but cattle grazing causes

soil erosion because cattle consume the

grasses and herbs and top soil is exposed.

same situation occurs because of

deforestation, the trees and plants are cut

down to expose top soil which causes soil

erosion
