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.

When the bison disappear the elk population will expand since they will have no bison to compete with for food. This will lead to overgrazing. The wolf population will also increase because they will have more food to hunt for. If the elk overgraze too much, the plants will also disappear leading to the elk population to decline. This will then cause the wolf population to decline. The wolves will not have enough food to keep them alive and therefore die. This relates to biodiversity since it relies multiples animals to be in a ecosystem for the that ecosystem to thrive. Multiple animals will lead to more competition, which allows the ecosystem to have a steady amount of resources. Resilience also relates to this because the plants in the ecosystem will grow back, leading to the elk, bison, and wolf population to grow back yet again.

Your written part is mostly clear and logically follows the prompt. However, there are a few grammatical errors and minor wording improvements for clarity. Below is your original text with the corrections noted.


Original Text with Corrections:

Original: When the bison disappear the elk population will expand since they will have no bison to compete with for food.

Correction: When the bison disappear, the elk population will expand since they will have no bison to compete with for food.


Original: This will lead to overgrazing.

(No change needed)


Original: The wolf population will also increase because they will have more food to hunt for.

Correction: The wolf population will also increase because they will have more food to hunt.


Original: If the elk overgraze too much, the plants will also disappear leading to the elk population to decline.

Correction: If the elk overgraze too much, the plants will also disappear, leading to the decline of the elk population.


Original: This will then cause the wolf population to decline.

(No change needed)


Original: The wolves will not have enough food to keep them alive and therefore die.

Correction: The wolves will not have enough food to keep them alive and will therefore die.


Original: This relates to biodiversity since it relies multiples animals to be in a ecosystem for the that ecosystem to thrive.

Correction: This relates to biodiversity since it relies on multiple animals to be in an ecosystem for that ecosystem to thrive.


Original: Multiple animals will lead to more competition, which allows the ecosystem to have a steady amount of resources.

(No change needed)


Original: Resilience also relates to this because the plants in the ecosystem will grow back, leading to the elk, bison, and wolf population to grow back yet again.

Correction: Resilience also relates to this because the plants in the ecosystem will grow back, leading to the growth of the elk, bison, and wolf populations once again.


Summary of Changes:

  1. Added a comma after "disappear" in the first sentence.
  2. Removed "for" in "to hunt for" in the second sentence.
  3. Added a comma before "leading" in "the plants will also disappear leading to the elk population to decline."
  4. Changed "to decline the elk population" to "the decline of the elk population."
  5. Changed "and therefore die" to "and will therefore die."
  6. Changed "relies multiples animals" to "relies on multiple animals."
  7. Changed "in a ecosystem for the that" to "in an ecosystem for that."
  8. Changed "to grow back yet again" to "to grow back once again."

These changes ensure grammatical accuracy and enhance clarity while preserving your original meaning. Your writing effectively addresses the question by discussing the ecosystem's response to the disappearance of bison and relating it to resilience and biodiversity.
