- hoeksteen species
- keystone species
A species so critical to an ecosystem that its removal could potentially
destroy the entire system. A good example of this are Blue Jays, which plant
acorns that give rise to oak forests. Without Blue Jays, oak forests are not
naturally replenished and without the forests, all other species in the
ecosystem cannot survive. It is important to consider keystone species when
making any decisions that could affect the natural environment. A small impact
on keystone species could cause major disruption for the whole ecosystem.
