There is a drought in an area in which white-tailed deer live. classify the drought as a density-independent factor or a density-dependent factor. explain

Density independent factor

Explanation:

Drought is a natural phenomenon or process which occurs when there is inadequate supply of water.

This being a physical process depends on parameter such as rainfall in cm, area of the land/catchment, climatic conditions, total population etc.

Drought has no relation with the density based parameters and also it is an abiotic factor that depends only on geophysical process.

Thus, it is density-dependent factor

it's diluted or concentrated

in a diluted solution, you can add a lot more solute but in concentrated only a little more can be added
