Solution

Density independent factors are those factors that affects a population irrespective of its size or density.These factors are mostly abiotic factors such as environmental stress, natural calamities,nutritional limitations etc.An example could be an earthquake that kills the members of a population regardless of the fact that the population is small or large.These factors are also known as limiting factors as they prevent population growth in a particular area.They are important under circumstances where destruction of a population does not require a particular population size.
