1.	What are the decisive factors for population density?
Answer» The density of a population in a given habitat during a given period fluctuates due to changes in four basic processes, viz. 1. Natality i.e. birth rate (The number of births during a given period in the population that are added to the initial density). 2. Mortality i.e. death rate (The number of deaths in the population during a given period). 3. Immigration i.e. number of individuals of the same species that have come into the habitat from elsewhere during the time period under consideration. 4. Emigration i.e. the number of individuals of the population who left the habitat and gone elsewhere during the time period under consideration. 5. Natality and immigration increase in population density whereas mortality and emigration decrease it.
