Plants, bison, elk, and wolves are all members of an ecosystem. The bison and elk are both primary consumers in this ecosystem, while the wolves are a predator. Over time, the bison completely disappear. Give an example of how the ecosystem may respond to this change, and explain how this relates to both resiliency and biodiversity.
please make it short
With the disappearance of bison, elk may have to compete for resources and their population may decline as well. This could lead to a decrease in biodiversity as the ecosystem relies heavily on these two primary consumers. Resilience of the ecosystem may be tested as it may struggle to adapt to the sudden loss of a key species.
Beavers, large members of the rodent family in North America, are often referred to as “ecosystem/keystone engineers” by wildlife managers. Ecosystem engineers are described as animals that create, alter, or destroy a habitat. Beavers contribute to river ecosystems by bringing down old and dead trees along riverbanks. They use these trees to make their dams. Although these dams are primarily used for protection and food storage, scientists report that these dams change the surrounding environment in different ways.
Given this information, in three to five sentences, describe a potential benefit that beavers contribute to the ecosystem as keystone engineers and describe a plausible impact that the removal of beavers could have on the surrounding ecosystem.

Beavers help increase biodiversity in river ecosystems by creating habitats for other wildlife through their dam-building activities. The dams also help improve water quality by slowing down the flow of rivers and creating wetland areas. If beavers were removed from the ecosystem, there could be a decrease in biodiversity and water quality as the habitat that they provide would be lost.
Some students are trying to convince their parents to let them raise backyard chickens. They want to present a logical argument on how raising your own chickens reduces food waste. In three to five sentences, construct an argument for how raising livestock yourself can help you reduce, reuse, and recycle waste.
