If one population in the food chain suddenly dies out, what do you think will be its effect tot the population of the other organisms? do you think this is good? why or why not?
The grass is the producer. If it died, the consumers that feed on it - rabbits, insects and slugs - would have no food. They would starve and die unless they could move to another habitat. All the other animals in the food web would die too, because their food supplies would have gone. The populations of the consumers would fall as the population of the producer fell.
What would happen if the population of slugs decreased?
Slugs, rabbits and insects all eat grass. If there were fewer slugs there would be more grass for the rabbits and insects to eat. With more food, the populations of rabbits and insects would increase. However, the thrushes would have to eat more insects to maintain their population, so it is also possible that the population of insects could decrease. This in turn may reduce the populations of voles and frogs.
