A limited resource in an ecosystem is

• something that is appreciated by organisms and is not infinite (unlimited) in the environment. If the resource runs out or is destroyed, the organisms will be okay.

• something that is unlimited and will last forever, organisms and populations may compete, but only for fame and glory.

• something that is needed by organisms and is not infinite (unlimited) in the environment. If the resource runs out or is destroyed, then the organisms that need it will likely die off.

• something that is not needed by organisms and is not infinite (unlimited) in the environment. If the resource runs out or is destroyed, then there will be no effect on the organisms.
