A forest without predators may not last long. When predators vanish, herbivore (plant eating) animal populations explode, leading to the mass destruction of plant life and eventually to the destruction of the forest itself.

A research team led by John Terborgh of Duke University made a census of the herbivores and trees on several islands in Lago Guri, a lake in Venezuela that was created in 1986 when a river was dammed to produce hydroelectric power. When the water rose, the smallest of the islands lost nearly all of its predatory animals, such as jaguars, snakes and hawks. The situation was a unique natural experiment, testing two competing theories of how ecosystems are structured.

My first suggestion is ?Resurrection of the Shroud? by Mark Antonacci. When Mark came on Dreamland to talk about his book, he told us some amazing facts.

The National Academy of Sciences says that global warming could trigger ?large, abrupt and unwelcome? climatic changes that could severely affect ecosystems and human society.

This fulfills the scenario in ?The Coming Global Superstorm,? published last year by Whitley Strieber and Art Bell. The warning comes six months after they informed the White House that global warming is indeed real, largely the result of human activity and likely to cause adverse effects.
