Some decomposers in an ecosystem are bacteria and fungi.
Mice eating plants can impact the ecosystem by reducing plant populations, which can disrupt the food chain and ecosystem balance. This can lead to changes in vegetation, affecting other animals that rely on those plants for food and shelter.
Mice, gophers and owls
No
One factor that can affect the populations in an ecosystem is that, if an ecosystem had owls with no predators, the owl population would increase and eat all the mice in the ecosystems. The population of the mice would decrease more and more.
Owls are typically the top predators in an ecosystem, eating mice, etc. Predators are needed to regulate the other populations and keep the ecosystem at equilibrium.
The graph presents the population of mice within a particular ecosystem over a period of time. By analyzing the trend, fluctuations, and peak points on the graph, scientists can assess the growth dynamics and potential factors influencing the mouse population within the ecosystem. This data aids in understanding the ecosystem's stability and the impact of environmental changes on the mice population.
There are typically more mice than lions in an ecosystem because mice have shorter reproductive cycles, produce more offspring, and have a quicker population turnover rate compared to lions which have longer gestation periods, produce fewer offspring, and have longer lifespans. This results in a higher number of mice compared to lions in the ecosystem.
They are part of the food chain in the ecosystem and help in the seed dispesral
the population of owls decreases
the population of owls decreases. (Apex)
There would be fewer cats than mice because a cat would eat more than one mouse. Therefore, it would make sense if there were more mice than cats or there wouldn't be enough mice to feed all the cats.
