Protecting desert land as a national park

Building roads and housing developments in desert habitats

Planting native vegetation in desert areas

Limiting vehicle use in sensitive desert areas

Fish populations will increase because fewer otters will prey on them.

The ecosystem will remain unchanged, as other predators will replace sea otters.

Sea urchin populations will decline, leading to an overgrowth of kelp forests.

Kelp forests will collapse, leading to loss of habitat for many marine species.

Grassland ecosystems will become less stable as trees and shrubs reduce resources for grazing species.

Grassland ecosystems will become more stable as carnivore populations decrease due to the lack of prey.

The ecosystem will remain stable, as other herbivores will consume the same vegetation.

The grassland ecosystem will increase in biodiversity as more trees provide shelter.

An increase in marine biodiversity in the area and the ecosystem will be stable

A decrease in marine biodiversity in the area and the ecosystem will be unstable

An increase in coral growth and reproduction making the ecosystem more stable

A decrease in ocean water temperature making the ecosystem unstable

Destruction of the coral reefs will have no significant impact because marine species will prevent erosion.

The ecosystem will become less stable resulting in a decrease in biodiversity.

The marine ecosystem will become more stable as species find new habitats.

As new species migrate into the ecosystem there will be an increase in biodiversity.

There is a decline in the snake that consumes native frog species.

The native frog population will also decrease.

The snakes will consume cane toads before they develop toxic defenses.

The snakes consume other native organisms, increasing biodiversity.

Creating artificial wetland habitats to support axolotl populations.

Implementing stricter fishing regulations to protect axolotls from accidental capture.

Establishing protected areas to prevent habitat destruction in axolotl breeding grounds.

Draining and diverting water from Lake Xochimilco for agricultural and urban use.

The ecosystem will become less stable because the large predator fish will quickly recover.

The ecosystem will become more stable due to a decrease in predators.

The ecosystem will become less stable due to an increase in smaller prey species such as jellyfish and small fish.

The ecosystem will become more stable because there will be an increase in corals since there are less predators.

The loss of herbivores will increase stability because no other species in the ecosystem are affected.

The savannah ecosystem will remain stable because herbivores are not important in the food web.

Herbivores will adapt by switching to a diet of insects and small animals.

The lion population may decrease due to a lack of prey, affecting the balance of the ecosystem.
