How does the introduction of nonnative species changes affect an ecosystem?
Non-native species affect an ecosystem because they are organisms that are living outside of their natural range. This non-native species is a lot like pollution. It can harm or destroy native species because they compete or hunt for their food and water. Hope this helps!! :)
What is a species that can change a whole ecosystem when it changes in number?
rats
What do you call ecosystems where species are endangered?
There are many things that can cause an ecosystem to become endangered. When an ecosystem and the species in that ecosystem become endangered, it is known as a hotspot.
What are species that don't belong in a particular area?
A species that "belongs" in a particular area, as you put it, is called a native species. I am sure that animals who find themselves in a non-natural habitat are called a non-native species, an invasive species, or introduced species. The introduction of some species into new environments can have devastating results - this is because the invasive species can eradicate necessary native species that are necessary to support a healthy ecosystem.
What would happen if the ecosystem changes?
Some animals would die. (some species would die)
Why keystone species are so important to ecosystem function?
The keystone species is critical to maintaining the stability of an ecosystem, and changes in its population indicate changes in ecosystem health.
How does the introduction of nonnative species changes affect an ecosystem?
Non-native species affect an ecosystem because they are organisms that are living outside of their natural range. This non-native species is a lot like pollution. It can harm or destroy native species because they compete or hunt for their food and water. Hope this helps!! :)
How would the introduction of a predator species affect the stability of an ecosystem?
The introduction of a new predator can have the species eaten with no time to evolve to defend against it
What are some environmental disturbances?
Environmental disturbances are changes in the environment that cause lasting and major changes to the ecosystem. Some examples are floods, fires, introduction of new species, windstorms, and insect outbreaks.
Which factor can influence continual change in an ecosystem. Further disturbances or long-term climate changes or introduction of nonavtie species?
Yes, they all can influence continual change in an ecosystem. Any of these could cause an ecosystem to spiral out of control, or could cause it to settle into a new ecosystem depending on the specifics.
What is a species that can change a whole ecosystem when it changes in number?
rats
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.
In an ecosystem, the presence of many different species is critical for the survival of some forms of life when?
significant changes occur in the ecosystem
What is intentional introduction?
Intentional introduction of invasive species is when non-native plants and/or animal life is brought into an area it did not originate in, usually with detrimental results for the environment or ecosystem.
How do species respon to changes in the ecoystem?
species can respond to changes in the ecosystem in one of two ways... 1) adapt 2) die/go extinct in the area
Ecosystem may collapse when the community structure changes because the dominant are removed?
Species.
What are orderly natural changes and species that take place in ecosystem communities over time?
succession
