Q. 63 What will happen to an ecosystem if
(a) All producers are removed
(b) All organisms of herbivore level are eliminated and
(c) All top carnivore population is removed
Ans. (a) Removal of all producer reduce primary production in the ecosystem. Hence, no biomass will be available to the successive/higher trophic level or heterotrophic organisms.
(b) Elimination of all organisms of herbivore level results into an increase in primary productivity and biomass of producer and carnivorous animal will not survive due to inavailability of food herbivores
(c) Remnval of top carnivores also disturb the ecosystem as it will result in huge increase in number of herbivores which will finish plants (producers) creating desertification.
