What would happen to an ecosystem whose number of predators declined due to over hunting and disease?

The prey of that animal would increase in population and then end up killing itself over thousands of years by eating all of its sources of food, due to overpopulation.

Explanation:

Without predators to keep the other animals in check, the second-on-the-food chain animal would overrun the area and, due to so many of that animal's kind to feed, it would end up eating all of its food and eventually kill itself.

increase soil erosion                                             reduce soil erosion

cattle grazing                                                         hydroseeding

deforestation                                                         contour plowing

                                                                                planting vegetation

plant roots basically hold the top soil

together and stop soil erosion because

in such situation top soil is not removed

during flood but cattle grazing causes

soil erosion because cattle consume the

grasses and herbs and top soil is exposed.

same situation occurs because of

deforestation, the trees and plants are cut

down to expose top soil which causes soil

erosion
