Role of ecological dominance in an ecosystem?
If a species is ecologically dominant, it dominates the biomass of the ecosystem (think big dipterocarp trees dominating a rainforest). These organisms influence the ecosystem due to their huge size or enormous number. Other organisms rely on these species and removing them often has a domino effect of local extinctions.
Ecosystem boundaries are usually defined by easily identifiable demarcations?
Ecosystem boundaries are often defined by physical features such as rivers, mountains, or coastlines. These features can act as barriers that limit the movement of species and resources in and out of the ecosystem. Additionally, human activities can also influence and alter ecosystem boundaries.
What would happen if a species disppeared from an ecosystem?
If species disappeared from an ecosystem the balance in the ecosystem will be altered.
Are there dominant species in a diverse ecosystem?
In a diverse ecosystem, there may be certain species that are more abundant or have a greater impact on the ecosystem than others. These species are often called dominant species. Dominant species can influence the structure and function of the ecosystem by outcompeting other species for resources or by providing key ecosystem services.
What do you call the a species that has a huge impact on an ecosystem even if the species is not very abundant?
keystone species is a species that has an unusually large impact on its ecosystem.

What is a complete sentence for ecosystem?
An Ecosystem is an environment or a culture within which the conditions or resources necessary for sustaining a number of organisms or species exist, which in turn, constitute and sustain the ecosystem in and of itsself.
What will most likely occur if two different plant species compete for the same requirements in an ecosystem?
If two plant species compete for the same requirements in an ecosystem, one species may outcompete the other and dominate the niche. This can lead to a decrease in population or even local extinction of the less competitive species. Over time, competition can result in the evolution of mechanisms to reduce competition, such as partitioning of resources or adaptation to different niches.
What do you call the a species that has a huge impact on an ecosystem even if the species is not very abundant?
keystone species is a species that has an unusually large impact on its ecosystem.
What is the name for a species that influences on the survival of many other species in your ecosystem?
The term is biodiversity. High biodiversity means a large number of different species in an ecosystem. An ecosystem with many different species is less likely to be disrupted by environmental changes.
What happens to the ecosystem when a predator species is extint?
Typically, the species that it ate overpopulate, and the ecosystem is disrupted.
What are species that migrate or are accidentally introduced into an ecosystem called?
Species that migrate are called migratory species, while species that are accidentally introduced into an ecosystem are called invasive species.
What would happen if the Indus river dolphin were to become extinct?
The prey species of the river dolphin, such as fish and shrimps, would suddenly boom and dominate the ecosystem as there would be no predator keeping their populations in check. Whatever those prey species feed on would suddenly decrease as there would be more organisms feeding of it. When one species becomes extinct, it can cause other species to also become extinct. However hopefully the ecosystem returns to an equilibrium eventually. Hope this helps!
