Biotic Potential is the maximum capacity of an individual or population to reproduce under optimal environmental conditions. Its hard for populations to reach its biotic potential because there are many factors that can lower it.
3 Factors are disease, predation, and restricted food.
Disease restricts its because it causes many to die from various diseases, so that lowers the biotic potential.
Predation because other animals feed on other animals in order to survive by killing them and eating them so that lowers the biotic predation.
Restricted food causes lowering in biotic potential because species can die from starvation cause they need the nutrients of food to survive and if they don't get them they die, so that lowers to biotic potential.
