The scientific design in which has limitations
due to oversimplification is the statement “in a study of the effect of lawn
fertilizer on the health of a backyard pond, biologists grow two colonies of
duckweed in a large flask to represent pond ecosystems”. Oversimplification is
an overview and generalization of a statement to miscomprehension,
misperception or even error. It overlaps the true statement.

</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. A balanced ecosystem.</span>
