Q3. In a system with four trophic levels (producers, herbivores, and two levels of predators) exhibiting trophic cascade
Q3. In a system with four trophic levels (producers, herbivores, and two levels of predators) exhibiting trophic cascades, what would you expect to happen if a species at the fifth trophic level is added (a predator on the current top predator)? The number of producers (the lowest trophic level) will increase. The number of herbivores (the second trophic level) will increase. The number of herbivores will decrease and the third trophic level (predators on the herbivores) will also decrease. The number of producers will decrease and the third trophic level (predators on the herbivores) will also decrease.
