DSV Limiting Factor

The DSV Limiting Factor refers to the smallest or most restrictive resource or condition that limits the overall capacity or performance of a system or process. In ecological or environmental contexts, it often describes the single environmental factor (like temperature or nutrient availability) that most constrains an organism or ecosystem's growth. Understanding this limiting factor helps in identifying what adjustments are needed to optimize function or productivity. Essentially, it highlights the "weakest link" that determines the maximum potential or efficiency of a system.
