The effect of habitat destruction on food webs can be catastrophic, leading to loss of biodiversity and disruption of ecological balance. As habitats are degraded or fragmented, the availability of resources such as food and shelter diminishes, impacting species populations and interactions. This can result in the collapse of food webs, where some species may thrive or become invasive, while others face extinction. Effective conservation efforts are essential to maintain habitat integrity and protect complex ecological relationships within food webs.
