Limiting Factors
Nonliving limiting factors
The Neritic Zone is full of life, but the space is limited. Coral Reefs are formed in the Neritic Zone and are kept alive by the nutrients it recives from the water. The only problem is that when the coral extends closer to the beach and outside of the neritic zone it dies becuse of the lack of nutrients. This shows the the limited area in the Neritic Zone causes species such as coral from growing any larger which makes it a nonliving limiting factor.
Living limiting factors
In the Neritic Zone there are many different species. An example of a limiting factor would be Sharks.
Sharks are the top predators in the Neritic Zone meaning that they basically control the other populations. For example they have competition with many other animals in the Neritic Zone who also prey on fish , which limits the amount of those animals there can be, because if there are too many then the fish population would go down rapidly along with all of the other populations.
