Those factors are called \u2018limiting factors\u2019. They include soils, temperature, water, sunlight, and physical barriers. Physical barriers may include landforms and water bodies. They often prevent a living organism from moving to another place when conditions get bad in their regular habitat.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Now, we shall take a close look
