An increase in competition among organisms can lead to the depletion of resources and loss of biodiversity. As organisms compete for limited resources such as food, water, and space, some species may be outcompeted and may decline in numbers or disappear from the ecosystem altogether. This can result in reduced biodiversity, which can negatively impact the overall health and resilience of the ecosystem.
