Population dependent factors become more limiting as the population increases.

(eg. amount of resources, intraspecific competition, predation, disease, physiological stress)

Population independent factors lower the population size without regards to it.

(eg. natural disasters, unnatural weather, acts of fate (volcano, flood, fire, earthquake, hurricane, etc.))
