Answer:
Q: ...what do you expect to happen to the population of each color of rabbit?
A: The white rabbit population may slowly die off while the brown rabbit population thrives and reproduces.
Explanation:
The white rabbits are well adapted to survival in cold winter months and snowfall, where they may camouflage effectively to avoid predation. However, the brown rabbits, more adapted to warmer periods in the fall, spring and summer in the temperate deciduous forest; the trees lose their leaves before cold seasons.
Leaf litter and foliage in warmer months likely provides better camouflage for brown rabbits. Camouflage is an adaptation to predation; the rabbits blend into surrounding colors, textures and patterns to avoid detection. In the onset of shorter winters, the white rabbits will be unable to avoid predators without snow to blend into; they would contrast with their surroundings making them easy targets to be hunted. Thus, with extended periods of warm temperatures, brown rabbits are more likely to survive and reproduce leading to a thriving population.

Explanation:
All biomes, even the most remote, are affected by the impact humans have on the environment.
Humans have been causing deforestation, pollution, agricultural expansion, mining, desertification, extinction of animals and plants, burning and other practices that have had extremely negative impacts on biomes around the world. In addition, all the pollution and exploitation of nature that humans have caused has caused harmful climate change that has affected even the most remote biomes.
The biome is a large set of interconnected ecosystems. Ecosystem, in turn, is an ecological system where there is life and interaction between living beings in a given space, and can vary in size, from a puddle to a large forest.
