Without primary consumers, the population of plants and producers in the ecosystem may become overabundant and unbalanced. This can lead to a decrease in biodiversity, as other organisms dependent on the primary consumers for food may struggle to survive. Eventually, the overall health and functioning of the ecosystem may decline.
