If herbivores were removed from the planet, the food chain wouldn't have a bottom. Some carnivores eat smaller carnivores, but the lowest carnivore on the food chain would die if herbivores would be removed, causing a chain reaction and, well, the carnivores that eat that carnivore would die, and the carnivores that eat THAT carnivore will die... etc. The world would be a total mess.

What would most likely happen to the herbivore and low level carnivore population size if most the top preditors in an area died?

If most of the top predators in an area died, the herbivore population would likely increase due to reduced predation pressure. This increase in herbivore population size could lead to overgrazing and a decline in vegetation. In turn, this could negatively impact the population size of low-level carnivores that rely on herbivores for food.

What would happen if there were no carnivores?

Without carnivores, herbivore populations would likely increase rapidly, leading to overgrazing of plant species. This could result in the decline or extinction of certain plant species, disrupting the entire ecosystem. Additionally, the absence of carnivores could also cause imbalances in predator-prey relationships, potentially leading to an increase in certain herbivore populations and a decrease in others.
