Predict how an unusually prolonged drought might affect a biological community

1 answer:

6 0

Primary consumers (such as grazers and browsers) of the biological community will put pressure on the primary producers (these are plants) since the primary producers have limited resources (water) to reproduce due to the drought. The primary producers hence become scarce and cause the primary consumers to compete for limited resources. This causes the primary producers to reduce in population. Reduction in their population causes limited resources for secondary consumers and this cascades up the food web to tertiary consumers.

</span><span>Because for example one large eagle needs lots of small sparrows to eat. There is usually a food pyramid so for example you could display it along the lines of 1,000 worms are eaten by 20 sparrows which are eaten by 1 eagle. Its just the way things are. It is a fine balance. if you went up to two eagles on same land they would run out of food quickly and then would either starve or have to move on and using up all the food doesnt help them so it needs to be in a fine balance.
