The below picture shows the food web of the american prairie. what could happen if all of the prairie dogs died? provide a detailed account of the consequences of this happening - cover every aspect of the ecosystem affected (producers and consumers affected).

Dogs shown in this picture belongs to the secondary consumer trophic level which consumes primary consumer herbivores. These primary consumer herbivores are dependent on grass for food which is a primary producer. If all dogs die, the population of primary consumer herbivores will increase. This increase will lead to decrease in grass at a drastic rate. Therefore, primary producers (grass) will be affected.
