2. Limiting factor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limiting_factor

   A limiting factor is a variable of a system that causes a noticeable change in output or another measure of a type of system. The limiting factor is in a pyramid shape of organisms going up from the producers to consumers and so on. A factor not limiting over a certain domain of starting conditions may yet be limiting over another domain of ...

3. Liebig's law of the minimum - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebig's_law_of_the_minimum

   Liebig's law states that growth only occurs at the rate permitted by the most limiting factor. [ 2 ] For instance, in the equation below, the growth of population O {\displaystyle O} is a function of the minimum of three Michaelis-Menten terms representing limitation by factors I {\displaystyle I} , N {\displaystyle N} and P {\displaystyle P} .

4. Law of Maximum - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Maximum

   The Law of Maximum also known as Law of the Maximum is a principle developed by Arthur Wallace which states that total growth of a crop or a plant is proportional to about 70 growth factors. Growth will not be greater than the aggregate values of the growth factors. Without the correction of the limiting growth factors, nutrients, waters and ...

5. Deep-submergence vehicle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep-submergence_vehicle

   A deep-submergence vehicle (DSV) is a deep-diving crewed submersible that is self-propelled. [citation needed] Several navies operate vehicles that can be accurately described as DSVs. DSVs are commonly divided into two types: research DSVs, which are used for exploration and surveying, and DSRVs (deep-submergence rescue vehicles), which are ...

6. Ecological niche - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_niche

   Ecological niche. The flightless dung beetle occupies an ecological niche: exploiting animal droppings as a food source. In ecology, a niche is the match of a species to a specific environmental condition. [1][2] It describes how an organism or population responds to the distribution of resources and competitors (for example, by growing when ...

7. Competition (biology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Competition_(biology)

   Competition (biology) Competition is an interaction between organisms or species in which both require a resource that is in limited supply (such as food, water, or territory). [1] Competition lowers the fitness of both organisms involved since the presence of one of the organisms always reduces the amount of the resource available to the other.

8. Limiting reagent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limiting_reagent

   The limiting reagent (or limiting reactant or limiting agent) in a chemical reaction is a reactant that is totally consumed when the chemical reaction is completed. [1][2] The amount of product formed is limited by this reagent, since the reaction cannot continue without it. If one or more other reagents are present in excess of the quantities ...

9. Limnology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limnology

   Lake Hāwea, New Zealand. Limnology (/ lɪmˈnɒlədʒi / lim-NOL-ə-jee; from Ancient Greek λίμνη (límnē) 'lake' and -λογία (-logía) 'study of') is the study of inland aquatic ecosystems. [1] The study of limnology includes aspects of the biological, chemical, physical, and geological characteristics of fresh and saline, natural ...
