Question

How might a dramatic decrease in vegeta-tion lead to a decrease in a prey species? (Hint: Think of how the vegetation, prey, and predator could be connected in a food chain.)

Answer 1

If vegatation were to decrease then primary consumers that are herbivores which are usually the prey will start to decrease too, because there food source is becoming limited. It's like a domino effect, if something is unbalanced in the ecosystem then the whole ecosystem could collapse.
