Question

What happens when a ecosystem is in equilibrium.

Answer 1

the ecosystem is "Balanced"

Step-by-step explanation:

Natural ecosystems are often incredibly sensitive to change, such as the introduction or removal of a species. A healthy ecosystem is said to be in equilibrium, which is a relatively stable state that keeps population sizes within a sustainable range (not too many of a certain species alive or dead). Consider the case of bears (who only eat fish) and salmon (who are only hunted by bears):

Answer 2

All living things must remain in balance, or equilibrium, also known as homeostasis. Our bodies maintain a balance of many things such as temperature. If we are too hot we sweat and if we are too cold we shiver. Our temperature must remain in equilibrium.

Even larger collections of living things like ecosystems must be in balance too. An ecosystem is a collection of living and non-living things in an area. There are lots of types of ecosystems we already know, such as a forest or a meadow. Any collection of living and non-living things in an area is an ecosystem, even a small ecosystem like your backyard.

Resources are plenty and predator and prey relationships are healthy. No competition for resources.
