What else can I help you with?
Which would you expect to have the greatest biomass a population of rabbits or a population of foxes living the same ecosystem?
Ecosystems are based on the amount of energy in the first or lowest level: trees, grasses, and shrubs. The next level can get only 10% of the first level to use for growth and reproduction. These are those that eat the plants (herbivores) of the first level. Rabbits would be included in this second level. Only 10% of 10% of the energy of the first level can be passed on to the third level, the carnivores. Those include foxes. Rabbits would be 10% of the biomass of the ecosystem (at most) and foxes only 1% (at most).
What will help balance an ecosystem with a lot of rabbits?
Predators of rabbits, to keep the ecosystem in balance. For example, foxes and snakes
Why is the rabbits ecosystem a forest?
They are Herbivores.
Which event might increase the carrying capacity for rabbits in a prairie ecosystem?
An increase in available food sources, such as a bumper crop of vegetation, could increase the carrying capacity for rabbits in a prairie ecosystem. This would provide more resources for the rabbits to feed on, allowing the population to grow until resources are once again limited.
The interrelationships of organisms play a vital role in the balance of any given ecosystem Which event might increase the carrying capacity for rabbits in a prairie ecosystem?
An increase in available food sources, such as more vegetation or seeds, in the prairie ecosystem would likely increase the carrying capacity for rabbits by providing them with more resources to sustain a larger population.

The grassy meadow that's home to rabbits deer and several species of birds would be considered a A population B community C biosphere C ecosystem?
C. Ecosystem. An ecosystem includes all living organisms in an area interacting with each other and with their physical environment. The grassy meadow houses different populations like rabbits, deer, and birds that depend on each other and their surroundings to survive.
Why do rabbits live in the ground?
Rabbits are are burrowing animals. They have found that they best fit in this niche in the ecosystem.
What eats cacti in the desert and how does this impact the ecosystem?
In the desert, animals like desert tortoises, rabbits, and insects eat cacti. This impacts the ecosystem by controlling cacti population growth and providing food for other animals in the food chain.
What can help balance the ecosystem in a meadow that has too many rabbits?
Introducing natural predators of rabbits, such as coyotes or foxes, can help regulate their population and restore balance to the ecosystem. Additionally, planting diverse vegetation and creating habitat for other animals that prey on rabbits can help create a more balanced food web in the meadow. Implementing sustainable land management practices, like controlled hunting or fencing off certain areas, can also help manage the rabbit population in a more ecological way.
What is a vital part of keeping an ecosystem stable?
An ecosystem is stable only if all is in balance. For instance, introducing rabbits to an island could throw the ecosystem out of balance, unless there is a native animal predator to keep the number of rabbits down to a sustainable level.
What is the ecosystem of a jackrabbit?
Rabbits play two roles in the ecosystem: that of prey(food for predator animals of all sizes) and that of grazer(rabbits forage through fields and meadows snipping down growth and distributing fertilizer -- their feces).
