Consider the model of a hypothetical rabbit population. over time the rabbit population thrives, reproduces, and grows. if the ecosystem remains stable as the population grows, would any abiotic limiting factors develop? if yes, what would they be? a) yes. as the population grows, available food and space could become limited. b) yes. a growing population means increased disease will be a limiting factor. c) no. if the ecosystem remains stable the rabbit population will continue to grow. d) no. as the population grows, the death rate increases so there are enough resources for all.
