Question

what would be the overall impact on the food chain if the number of organism in a trophic level is changed?​

Answer 1

If Organism Count Decreased:

1. The organisms in the lower trophic levels will proliferate as there is a lower number of organisms that eat them and the organisms in the higher levels will decrease in number due to a decrease in the availability of food.

If Organism Count Increased:

1. The organisms of lower trophic levels will die out due to over-exploitation and the organisms in the higher levels will proliferate as there is increased availability of food
