Question

How do you think a reduction or loss of consumers in an ecosystem might affect producers?

Answer 1

In an ecosystem, there are producers of food and there are consumers. The consumers can be herbivores that consume plants or carnivores (that predate on other consumers). In the case of a particular food chain, the removal or modification of consumers or producers severely affects the other.

Answer 2

There would be an overpopulation of said producers.
