Triceratops was a 6 to 12 tonne herbivore from the maasrichtian period at the end of the cretaceous period 65 million years ago in what is now North America.

It filled the role that modern day wilderbeast or maybe buffalo do in Africa today. Fossil evidence suggest that they were predated by large carnavores such as Tyrannosaurus Rex (although some theories suggest that T-Rex was a scavenger).

Is a triceratops a herbivore or a carnivore?

Triceratops was an herbivore, or plant eater. Triceratops had large batteries of teeth and definitely chewed its food. This suggests that they ate tough vegetation. In addition, Triceratops's head was relatively low to the ground, so any plants that it ate would have to be relatively low growing for it to reach them, unless it used its horns to tip trees over on occasion. They may have eaten conifers, cycads, palms, or ferns.

How would the decrease in tree ferns would affect the triceratops?

The decrease in tree ferns, which were a significant food source for triceratops, would have a direct impact on their diet and nutrition. Triceratops relied on tree ferns for sustenance, so a decrease in their availability could lead to malnutrition and potential population decline. This change in food availability could also disrupt the triceratops' ecosystem and lead to cascading effects on other species within their environment.
