If a herbivore is removed from the food chain ,the level one carnivores which would otherwise eat the herbivore,would starve to death,as they can not eat producers nor can they eat level 2 or level 3 carnivores.
ex. in a foodchain of grass-grasshopper-frog-snake ,if we remove grasshopper(herbivore),frog the level 1 carnivore,would die of starvation as it can not eat grass,nor can it eat snake.It will get in to other foodchains for survival and will disturb the regular echosystem.

E.g leaf-caterpillar-bird-fox ( -) means food for If for instance the bird is taken out of the food chain, the foxes would starve because they would have no food to eat and would eventually die. The caterpillars however, would thrive due to the fact that it no longer has and predators so there would be more caterpillars. But since there would be more caterpillars, the leaves would suffer because there would be more caterpillars to feed on them. I hope this helps!
