tropical forest in Venezuela, demonstrating an increase in herbivore population while producing a decline in tree seedling density (Frank 2008). As Frank noted, when there is a tight trophic linkage between consumers, plants, and decomposers in grassland and aquatic areas, a strong event of predator effects cascaded down food chains will occur while promoting top-down control of ecosystem processes (2008). By initiating a wolf presence, even in small groups, in areas throughout the world, a…
