It is under debate. Some view grizzly bears as keystone species because every year they kill salmon and remove them from the rivers often leaving most of the remains of the salmon to decompose and add nutrients to the forest system. But grizzely bears have been extripated from much of the natural range in the Western US. The forest still survive and exist without them, because of this I view them not as a keystone species. Sea otters, beavers, and prarie dogs are better examples of keystone species.
