A food web may create a more stable grass field ecosystem.Explain on this statement with a possible example of food web (which consists of 3-5 food chains) for the grass field ecosystem (provide also a diagram of the food web). Defination of food web The food web is a net work of food chains that are interconnected at various trophic levels and forms a numbers of feeding connection amongst members of a biotic community. Food web is more stable because a certain predator has a choice to feed on different types of prey.
