Why is an imbalanced high population of moose on the island seen as a

problem? *

If the moose population continues to grow, they will run out of space on the island and

take over the wolf niche.

If the moose population is unchecked, the local balsam fir population will be

decimated, leaving a barren ecosystem.

It was not seen as a problem; science believes we should let the ecosystem run its

course and dies out.

It was not seen as a problem because the absence of wolves on the island ensured

the future of the ecosystem.

Answer 1

If the moose population is unchecked, the local balsam fir population will be decimated, leaving a barren ecosystem.

Step-by-step explanation:

The imbalanced high population of moose on the island seen as a problem because it decreases the local balsam fir population which is a major food source for the moose in the winter season. If the population of moose is grow higher then the scarcity of food sources occurs and the food source will be eliminated from that ecosystem. If the moose population increases the local balsam fir population will be eliminated from the ecosystem and the land will remain barren or without vegetation.
