How might a dramatic decrease in vegetation lead to a decrease in a prey species?

if vegetation decreases then the food supply for prey becomes very limited, some prey might not get enough food intake and die, this could happen reguarly and therefore prey would decrease.
By the way if this was to happen then predators would become limited too because they wouldn't have enough prey to eat.
All in all there wouldn't be enough food to go around and therefore prey would not have enough food and all prey could die off. (This is incedibly unformal)

What might happen in an ecosystem if the population of one species grows unusually fast?
Another species that eats the same food might decrease in population.
Suppose that a new species of insect were introduced to your area how might competition limit it's dispersal?
If there are similar species, people might not want to take this new species to different areas.
If human species suffered a population crash what are species that might move in to occupy part of the ecological niche?
Beavers
What do you think might happen in an ecosystem if it lost all of its plants species?
It would soon loose all its animal species too.
Why might a contagious virus that causes a fatal disease be considered a density-dependent factor?
its considered a limiting factor because it might have the power to decrease the numbers of the population, if one were to become infected.
How might a decrease in competition between species lead to the sudden appearance of new species?
The decrease in competition between species can lead to the sudden appearance of many new species because by the time there is a decrease between species more species are developing and that is causing more species to appear so suddenly.

How might using mass selection and inbreeding hurt a species' chances for survival?
Because it will decrease the genetic diversity of the population.
Does a bird eat grass?
Some birds might eat grass, but it depends on the species. Most birds eat grubs, berries, seeds, and other vegetation.
What happens if environmental conditions change?
stuff happens like some species might die out because of the change heing too dramatic and like some new species might come because that environment suites them, leading to the problem of invasive species whih will overpopulate since they have no predators, which will disrupt the ecosystem a lot
What might happen if a great number of meat eaters were destroyed?
A large increase in herbivores. In a few decades there could possibly be a large decrease in vegetation. Though I'm not sure on the last part.
How might vegetation act as an obstacle to invaders trying to attack Southern China?
the invaders might get lost or they might not be able to survive in the weather or elevation of the vegetation.
What vegetation might you find near the top of the mountain?
Alpine vegetation up to the snow line
What vegetation might you find at the foothills of mountains?
you will find harribos
Does vegetation affect the amount of runoff?
Yes, plants absorb some of the water. It thick vegetation might slow runoff down too.
