How can overpopulation of a species be a problem to an ecosystem?
Over population of a particular species will cause the food chain in that ecosystem to become unstable. Over population will also reduce the amount of producers within an ecosystem (depending if the over population is of a consumer) and will lead to the decrease of other animal species inhabiting the same ecosystem.
How do you know an ecosystem is sustainable?
If the species continues to grow and reproduce offspring. If an ecosystem wasnt sustainable then is would become extinct over time.
What role in a food web does a gray timber wolf play in a ecosystem?
The wolf keeps the deer population down so they don't over populate. If they did, the deer wold compltely destoy the entire ecosystem aroung it. WOLVES RULE!
What happens to the ecosystem when predators leave?
The species that were kept in control by the predators start over populating and upset the balance of the ecosystem
What is happening to an ecosystem going through succession?
An ecosystem undergoing succession is experiencing a gradual change in its species composition and structure over time. Initially, pioneer species such as grasses and shrubs colonize an area, followed by a progression of different plant and animal species. This eventually leads to the development of a climax community, which is a stable and diverse ecosystem. The process of succession is driven by factors like changes in soil conditions, availability of resources, and interactions between species.
Why do exotic species sometimes take over an ecosystem?
When exotic species are introduced into a new ecosystem, they often don't encounter the same factors that controlled the exotic species population or growth that was in the original ecosystem.
How can an exotic species threaten an ecosystem?
When exotic species are introduced into a new ecosystem, they often don't encounter the same factors that controlled the exotic species population or growth that was in the original ecosystem.
How do exotic species affect populations of native species?
When exotic species are introduced into an area these species can grow at exponential rate due to a lack of competitors and a lack of predators they may take over niches of native species and can eventually replace the native species completely

Over time a group of species in an ecosystem is replaced by a different group of species through?
Succession
How can people introducing animals and plants into the ecosystem effect the ecosystem?
It can either help it or completely ruin it, you probably have/going to learn/learned it in seventh grade.If you introduce some animals, they will completely take over the habitat, such as Snakeheads in the Chesapeake bay. When they were introduced, they completely took over the environment by rapidly reproducing and eating all of the fish. This is called an invasive species. Invasive species are exotic animals that come from another country/state. Exotic species are completely fine, they are introduced and there is nothing wrong, they may even help the environment.Answered well enough?
What is a primary species?
A primary species is the first species to inhabit a new environment in the primary succession.
How do you know an ecosystem is sustainable?
If the species continues to grow and reproduce offspring. If an ecosystem wasnt sustainable then is would become extinct over time.
What causes ecosystems to change over time?
Many things can cause change in ecosystem. These include habitat destruction for human builds, Introducing new species to a ecosystem that are not part of the food chain, Poaching, and even most pestacides can cause severe change to an ecosystem. Food chain disturbance example: Lionfish. They were somehow introduced by being let out of an aquarioum. These exotic fish are disturbing the food chain and causing many different other species of fish like grouper to have no food to eat.
What are orderly natural changes and species that take place in ecosystem communities over time?
succession
What is a gradual change in an ecosystem?
Changes over species over long periods of time is known as evolution.
What is the word for a species who take over another species habitat?
Ecosystem. Ecology, the study of plants and animals and how they interact with each other and their environment. :)
