Question

"Extinction of tiger can destabilise the entire forest ecosystem and result in a
large scale loss of biodiversity'. justify this statement.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Extinction of tigers do affect the environment.

Explanation:

In the forest ecosystem, a pyramid of food chain applies where plants are eaten by herbivores, herbivores are eaten by carnivores and everything gets decomposed by decomposers.

There must be a food chain that involves the tiger such as that (this is just one example, tigers are involved in a much grander, complex food chains):

Grass - Gazelles - Tiger - Decomposers

So when the tiger went extinct, there would be sudden burst of growth in the gazelles' population that could cause instability where the population of grass in turns slowly disappearing and this may cause other herbivores to lose their source of food and soon went extinct too so causing a loss of biodiversity and eventually the entire forest ecosystem went chaos (this is just in a minor scale assuming that tigers are involved in one food chain, if it is true, the outcome would be disastrous)

Hope this helps :)
