Why does the lynx population go up as the hare population goes up?

Hares are a food source for lynxes. Lynxes are a predator of hares.
Hares rely on plants for food and lynxes rely on hares (inter alia) for food.
If the hare population increases due, perhaps, to lots of good plant food, then the lynxes (and maybe the foxes) have more food and can support more babies which survive to maturaty.
Too many lynxes and too few hares means not enough food for the lynxes. Baby lynxes starve and the balance is adjusted.

How far from their home do lynx go to eat?
It depends on how much food is available (the scarcer the food the further the Lynx will need to travel).When thinking about how far a lynx needs to go to eat it is normal to think about the area of an individual lynx's territory (lynx will have neighbors all around) and lynx territory sizes ranges from about 25 to 2000 sq km according to habitat quality and prey availability
