How can the loss of one species in a pond affect other species?

The loss of a species of animals could greatly effect the environment. For instance, if wolves go extinct, they cannot eat deer, so the deer flourish and there is a grass shortage. Because of so many deer, the deer would also go extinct there would also be a loss in everything because if one animal gets whiped out the food chain will mess up and in the end we might all die

∙ 11y agoThink about the food chain when answering this question the answer is simple.
- carnivores feed on herbivores
- herbivores feed on plants
- plants feed on the sun, water and carbon dioxide
so when the plants die all life would slowly die after from starvation and lack of food

* Other water plants might have less light to help them grow.
*Some algae produce toxins, so the water could be poisoned.

In a pond would the algae and fish and other life forms make up what scientists call a population?
That would be a community. A population is a group of a single species in a particular area. There would be many different population in the pond.
A coal-burning facility is constructed in an area containing several pond ecosystems. How will this human activity most likely affect the pond ecosystems?
water quality would be worse
In a pond or lake the limiting factor that may affect the growth of algae is the level of dissolved?
Cause animals bacteria need it

The pond would become acidic and have less ability to support organisms
What other then a frog is a carnavore that lives in a pond?

What are some biotic factors that would effect a pond ecosystem?
Some of the limiting factors that would affect dragonflies would be climate, rain, temperature, and other species in the environment. Species that ate the dragonflies would have the largest effect.
How does introduction of animals affect the pond community?
Almost any animal species you introduce into a community will affect it. However, what the effect will be and how dramatic, is highly dependent on what it is you introduce. For example, if you were to introduce a predator fish into your pond community, it would greatly reduce the population of smaller fish and subsequently increase the population of the small fish's prey. This could to a number of things, from ruining the living conditions for all other species or perhaps make more food available for another species to thrive.

Do plants grow better in a clear pond or muddy?
I would assume clear because it has easier access to light. The species of plant might also affect it.
Increased light intensity in a pond increases algal growth and reduces oxygen availability for other organisms How will this affect the aquatic habitat?
The population of all organisms in the pond will decrease.
What is the scientific name for a pond skater?
Pond skater or water striders belong to the Gerridae family, with 500 species. A common European species is Gerris remigis.
How does the acid content of the pond affect the population of organisms?
Because the population of organisms is pond effect
