What may happen if all herbivores are killed in a terrestrial ecosystem?
Answers
In our Eco system, Plants are considered as primary food producers. Herbivorous and carnivorous are two types of living organisms that are found within our eco system.
Herbivorous animals are those that depend on plants for their food. They derive their energy from the food they get from plant products. Most Carnivorous animals are also directly dependent on Herbivorous animals for their food. Carnivorous animals eat herbivorous and derive the energy and food indirectly from the plants.
If all herbivorous die with in our eco system then:-
1. Carnivorous will not get food as they only depend on Herbivorous for their food.
2. This also means that all other life forms within our eco sysytem will not be able to survive.
extinction of herbivorous from our eco system will have direct impact on all other life forms existing on our planet.
In case if all herbivores are killed in a terrestrial ecosystem, at last all the life will die.
It is because, if there is no herbivores, then there will be no source of food for the carnivores.
Thus, the balance of ecosystem will fall down and the life would come to an end.
