Answer:

The population of mouse will increase

Explanation:

Hawks can be considered as a limiting factor for mice population as they feed upon them and hence restrict mice's population from growing in an uncontrolled manner in a given ecosystem. When this limiting factor is removed, the population of mice will outburst.

Humans hunt the hawks which lead to decrease in their population. As the the number of hawks get reduced , the number of mice killed by them also gets reduced . Therefore, more mice will be alive to reproduce and increase their population.

1. in an ecosystem with four levels—producers, primary consumers, and two higher-level consumers—describe where the decomposers
attashe74 [19]
Decomposers, as the name suggests, decompose dead plants or animals into simple compounds. They feed on dead producers from the first levels or consumers from other three levels. Breaking them down, decomposers release nutrients that producers can use.
In an ecosystem with four levels, the first level are producers, such as plants and algae. On the second trophic level, there are primary consumers, herbivores that eat plants, for example, a deer, a rabbit, a grasshopper. The next trophic level belongs to secondary consumers that eat herbivores, for example, a wolf, a fox. The highest level is tertiary consumers that eat carnivores, for example, a bear, an eagle.
