Ok 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.

A) Yes. As the population grows, available food and space could become limited.

Explanation:

If the population of a certain species expands over time then a previously stable ecosystem will not remain stable. Space would become limited as there will be more organisms and lesser space to accommodate them. Competition for food will also begin as food will also become short. Intraspecific as well as inter-specific both competitions would start to occur among organisms for the resources. As a result, the ecosystem will become unstable.
