Feral pigs are an invasive species commonly found in the Pineywoods of East Texas. Areas where feral pigs are found often have damaged farmlands, grass, and tree roots. When the pigs live close to water sources, their presence erodes the soil. This disrupts the native vegetation and makes those plants vulnerable to invasive plant species. There are no known predators to feral pigs.
How will the removal of the feral pig affect existing populations in that ecosystem?
A) Removing the pigs will not affect the ecosystem because the pigs have no natural predators that will be affected by their removal.
B) Removing the pigs will cause an increase in native plant populations over generations because the pigs will no longer damage the land.
C) Removing the pigs will cause the native vegetation to become quickly overgrown because the plants will no longer be the prey of the pigs.
D) Removing the pigs will cause an increase in invasive plant populations because the pigs were the only organism eating invasive plants.
