Consider the food chain:

● Grass Deer Lion


What will happen if all the lions are removed from the above food chain?

If all the lions are removed from the given food chain, the number of deer will increase because there will be no lion to prey on them; as a result the deer population will increase which will graze on grasses. More the population of deer more will be the grazing on land. Overgrazing will lead to disappearance of vegetation and the forest will turn into a desert with no vegetation at all.
