When populations in an ecosystem stabilize and all species are able to coexist in an ecosystem without any overpopulating or dying out, this occurs.
What is dynamic equilibrium?

What is photosynthesis?
500
When studying a graph showing populations of animal species A and animal species B. You observe that there is a sharp drop in species A followed by a sharp increase in species B. From this, you draw this conclusion about the relationship between species A and species B.
