Factores bióticos en los ecosistemas

Ecosystems are vulnerable to changes, whether abiotic or biotic. A small change can destabilize the entire system, affecting food sources and habitats. The introduction of new species, like rabbits in Australia, can lead to habitat destruction and species loss. Similarly, introducing parasites and diseases can be catastrophic. Removing predators allows prey populations to grow uncontrollably, further disrupting ecosystems. Even minor changes can have significant impacts over time.

Explain how the removal of a predator can affect the balance of an ecosystem.

In what ways can biotic changes take years to manifest in an ecosystem?
