Answer:

There are several environmental factors that causes changes in the ecosystem and the population of that area such as invasive species, extreme weather, land use change, pollution and disease.

Lets take invasive species as environmental factor. Introduction of invasive species can cause a huge change in the ecosystem and affects the native population in that area. it increases the competition for food resources and decreases the survival rate of their preys.

For example: Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes). It is an invasive plant species that has very bad impact of native population as well as other population, like it reduces biological diversity, oxygen loss, decreased phytoplankton productivity,  eliminate plants that animals use for nesting, and alter animal communities by blocking access to the water.

Thus invasive population can affect population by reducing biodiversity, water shortages, decreasing availability and quality of key natural resources, disturb the food chain and can cause natural calamities.

Invasive species affect the resources that native species are using and that decreases the carrying capacity of the native population as it disturbs the whole food chain.

Describe how energy flows in the ecosystem represented by this food pyramid how would you translate the pyramid into words?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Energy flows from one animal or plant eating or getting eaten to the next anima above it. As for your translation, the crickets are eating the grass then are getting eaten by the secondary consumers and finally getting fed to the largest consumer and every time you go up in the food chain more and more energy is being passed on.
