What will happen if we kill all the organisms in one trophic level?
Will the impact of removing all the organisms in a fronhic level​

Answer 1

Answer:If we kill all the organisms of one trophic level it will create an imbalance in the ecosystem as every trophic level is interdependent on each other.

For example, in a food chain grass is eaten by a buffalo and buffalo is eaten by a lion. If all the lions in the population were to be removed, the number of buffalo will increase and this will ultimately lead to over-grazing. Over-grazing can lead to the barren land which will ultimately lead to soil erosion.

Answer 2

What will happen if we kill all the organisms in one trophic level?

Ans. If we kill all the organisms in one trophic level, the number of individuals in the next trophic level will decrease due to non-availability of food. Also, the number of individuals in the previous trophic levels will increase because there is no one to feed on them. This will cause imbalance in the environment.

Will the impact of removing all the organisms in a trophic level be different for different

trophic levels? Can the organisms of any trophic level be removed without causing any damage to the ecosystem?

Ans. Yes, the impact of removing all the organisms of a trophic level will be different for different

trophic levels. The effect will be time related. If we remove all the producers, primary consumers will be affected instantly. Secondary consumers will affect after a gap and tertiary consumers after a longer gap.
