Stability does not change because primary consumers will increases to make up for the loss.

Stability decreases due to reduced availability of resources.

Stability increases because decomposers do not rely on producers.

Stability increases as predators consume more prey.

There will be an increase in the population numbers of native beetle species in the habitat.

There will be an increase in competition for food resources among all beetle species in the habitat.

There will be an increase in the available habitat for non-native plant species.

There will be an increase in pollination of native flowering plant species.

Kelp forests will become more stable due to the decrease in otter predation pressure.

Kelp forests will become less stable as sharks will also eliminate the prey of the otters.

Kelp forests will become less stable due to the increase in the size of the otters' prey population.

Kelp forests will become more stable as sharks replace otters as the top predator in the food chain.

The rainforest ecosystem will become more stable as species find new food sources.

Deforestation will have no significant impact because tropical species can easily adapt.

Biodiversity will decrease as the ecosystem becomes less stable.

Biodiversity will increase as new species move in to replace those lost.

Increasing water consumption that decreases the flow of clean water from the springs that feed the river

Public transportation that reduces the number of automobiles that contribute to pollution runoff into the river

Tourism that helps fund the educational programs related to river ecosystem conservation

The addition of a new food source into the river that limits competition for resources

Extinction leads to increases in biodiversity and increases in stability.

Extinction leads to decreases in biodiversity and increases in stability.

Extinction leads to increases in biodiversity and decreases in stability.

Extinction leads to decreases in biodiversity and decreases in stability.

When species face competition from native organisms, they are poorly adapted to compete with invasive organisms for resources

When species are well adapted to conditions in an ecosystem, a change in those conditions can cause multiple extinctions.

When species are numerous, an alternative species may be able to fill the role of a species lost as a result of changing conditions.

When species have similar roles in an ecosystem, the loss of a single species can severely damage the ecosystem.
