We would have too many nuts and insects or anything that squirrels eat!
how can overpopulation cause an ecosystem to change
An upset in the dynamic equilibrium of an ecosystem can disrupt the balance between populations and resources in the ecosystem, potentially leading to overpopulation or resource depletion. This can result in a decrease in the ecosystem's carrying capacity as it struggles to support the new imbalanced conditions.

Overpopulation of a species can lead to competition for resources such as food and space, which can result in a decline of other species in the ecosystem. It can also lead to habitat destruction and increased pressure on the ecosystem overall, disrupting the balance of the ecosystem.

Blister rust affects whitebark pine trees, which are a key food source for squirrels and nutcrackers. When whitebark pine trees die due to blister rust, it impacts the availability of seeds for squirrels and nutcrackers, leading to a decline in their populations. This loss of food source can disrupt the entire ecosystem by affecting the animals that rely on whitebark pine seeds for survival.
squirrels eat acorns which fall in abundance. by eating these acorns they lessen the amount lying on the ground. By having less acorns on the ground, it stops people from falling or twisting their ankles when these same folks could be helping pick up the trash or planting trees, thereby helping the ecosystem.
No. The number of a species supported by and ecosystem depends on how much food is available in the ecosystem. If the population (squirrels) exceeds the food supply then some of the population will die. Predators are a factor in controlling population size.
The removal of wolves from Yellowstone disrupted the natural balance of the ecosystem, leading to an overpopulation of herbivores like elk. This overpopulation resulted in overgrazing, which damaged vegetation and affected the growth of trees and plants along riverbanks. The decline in plant life further impacted other species, including beavers and birds, disrupting habitats and reducing biodiversity. The reintroduction of wolves in 1995 highlighted their crucial role as apex predators in maintaining the health of the ecosystem.
