Question

What will happen if all carnivores are removed from forests?

Answer 1

Hey there, your curiosity rover has asked you an excellent question. I'll try to answer it out

So, carnivores are those which prey upon herbivores of herbs. They are on top of the food chain

herbivores are those which feed upon herbs. These are at the bottom of the food chain

Now, if you remove all the carnivores in the forest of a given area, you'll gradually find an increase in the number of herbivores around you and what's the result? Herbivores start growing enormously and finally they start eating herbs and cause deforestation. So, if you remove carnivores, the herbivore population builds up and, well the rest is history

Hope it helps

Answer 2

Answer:

The carnivores keep the populations of other carnivores and herbivores in check. If there were no carnivores, the herbivore populations would explode and they will rapidly consume large amounts of plants and fungi, growing until there is not enough food to sustain them. Eventually, the herbivores would starve, leaving only those plants that were distasteful or poisonous to them. Species diversity would, therefore, drop dramatically.
