With wolves extinct here, it brings up the number of prey, which brings down other prey and plant population. jmoore159 https://padlet.com/cmcmullan/nwhafp61z0a7/wish/340070423 by Camden, Josh, and Isaac]]> 2019-03-11 17:11:54 UTC https://padlet.com/cmcmullan/nwhafp61z0a7/wish/340070423 #3 Sydney Molly Sebastian Aerin https://padlet.com/cmcmullan/nwhafp61z0a7/wish/340071089 This article explains domino effects in ecosystems.
