Density Dependent Factors(Affects Large Populations)
Migration: Migration affects population size by increasing it in areas where resources are plentiful and decreasing it in areas that are struggling for resources which will cause the population of the ecosystem as a whole to become unbalanced.
Competition: As predators increase they will become competitive for prey and may cause a decrease in prey which in turn causes a decline with the predators.

Density Independent Factors(Affects All Populations)
Forest Fire: Taiga Forests are highly susceptible to fires. Fires are capable of destroying the entire ecosystem and can even change the entire landscape of the Forest.
Temperature: Due to Global Warming and Climate Change it can be extremely hot or cold in the forest. Changes in temperature may affect some species more than others because some might not survive if it's too hot or if it's too cold.
