The photograph shows a deforested area. Humans intentionally cleared the trees in this area for urban development or to use the wood for lumber. How will this action affect the herbivores and predators that live in the forest?

Answer:

Herbivores in the forest depend on trees for food, shelter, and protection from predators. With fewer trees in the area, competition between the herbivores for these resources will increase. This competition will lead to a decrease in their populations. Eventually, the carnivore populations won’t have as many prey animals to eat, and their populations will decrease too.
