Mistletoe is a parasitic shrub. It extends its root-like structures into a host tree's branches to absorb its water and minerals. Birds spread mistletoe as they feed on the mistletoe's seeds and then deposit them in nearby trees as waste. When a tree has a large amount of mistletoe on it, the mistletoe can take away almost all of the tree's nutrients. An oak tree that is covered in mistletoe is shown below.
If mistletoe was introduced into a stable deciduous forest ecosystem, with a large population of oak trees, which of the following describes how the forest's oak trees would most likely change?
