The most likely conditions that limit the growth of a plant-eating animal population are:

A spring freeze kills many plants that may results in loss of producers. Therefore, less food is available for herbivores or plant eating animals, this will be a limiting factor.

The number of predators increases that means more herbivores or plant eating animals are likely to be preyed by predators.

A harmful plant disease spreads through the area that results in loss of producers. Therefore, less food is available for herbivores or plant eating animals, this will be a limiting factor.

Spread of a harmful animal disease can cause death of plant eating animals. This may also limit the population of herbivores.
