What would be an abiotic limiting factor for a plant?

The abiotic factors are the non-living factors that influence the lives, functioning, existence of the living organisms, including the plants as well. There are numerous abiotic factors and all of them are very important and have certain role to play, but we can focus on the water as such a factor.

The water is crucial for the survival of the plants, thus making it one of the most, if not the most important abiotic factor. The lack of water will be a limiting factor for the development and even existence for a plant, depending on how extreme is the lacking of it. A nice example are the deserts where the water is very rare, so we mostly see barren, sandy or rocky landscapes without or very little vegetation.

The water is crucial for the process that a plant needs to perform in order to survive so the plant needs certain amounts of this abiotic factor, if it doesn't have it enough than the plant will die out.

the correct answer is:

a population changes in response to a change in the environment.
