12.Ecosystem
medium
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
Option A
Option B
Option C
Option D
Solution
$(a)$ If all producers are removed then primary productivity will be decreased. Therefore biomass will not be obtained to next successive/sequential higher equatorial trophic level or heterotrophic organisms.
$(b)$ If all herbivores organisms are removed primary productivity and biomass of producers will increase and carnivores animals will not be survived due to animals are not obtained as food.
$(c)$ By removing higher carnivores there would be disturbance in ecosystem because herbivores will be increased in number which destroy trees and produce desert region.
