Biodiversity Graphs

What may happen if the snowshoe hare was removed from the food web pictured?

• The insects in the habitat would increase.

• The shrew population would decrease due to being only hawk food source.

• The willow tree population would decrease.

• Foxes would dies due to no food source.
