Question
multiple answer 1 point imagine adding wolves to the lynx and hare ecosystem. like lynx, wolves eat hares. if hare population collapses, which of the following outcomes are most likely in the ecosystem? select all that apply. grass biomass - or the amount of grass - increases lynx population increases wolf population declines wolf population grows and stabilizes at a higher level
Wolves eat hares. If hare population collapses, wolves face food - shortage, so wolf population declines. With fewer hares, lynx (which also eat hares) face less competition for food, so lynx population may increase. Fewer hares mean less grazing pressure on grass, so grass biomass increases.
