Question
If wolves had never come back to Yellowstone, river banks would have remained
instable and very sensitive to erosion. Increased erosion rate would have after a long
time increased the width of the river further removing vegetation around the river.
The river would probably have become larger and larger as erosion will continue to
proceed. This is a good example of:
Negative biogeochemical cycle
Negative feedback loop
Positive feedback loop
Positive biogeochemical cycle
