they eat a lot, shit a whooole bunch, and trample giant areas, they are quite literally destructive
so the cats are killing the native animals/birds, and the pigs are destroying the local plant life
double whammy
wild pigs can eat anywhere from 5 to 10 pounds of food in a day
thats a lot of biomass on an island
Would their excrement not also be useful for fertilizer to help the recovery of that biomass?
sort of, its a common misconception that all poop is good 😛
its really a question of how much
some poop is good, a lot of poop is toxic
too much of a good thing I suppose you could call it
plus if the pigs eliminate too much of the ground cover foliage the island is more susceptible to storms and high winds
so storm damage is increased
I would have thought trees and such would be the main barriers against storms
not for the topsoil
I guess in Lost there's no way there would only be those few boars for hunting.. they'd be everywhere considering how long they'd been there
ground cover foliage protects the topsoil from run off, literally being swept into the ocean
kind of like what caused the dust bowl in the American Midwest
but more water and less dust
if nothing is holding the soil in place it just drains right into the ocean
So basically the island would just be turned into a mini desert
the foundation for life is grasses and low-lying bushes
they proliferate and secure the soil, allowing for more complex ecologies and larger foliage
without them weather can just devastate areas
its why they use grasses to secure beaches from erosion
Yea it would be a shame if all that happened. We already destroyed a lot of the pristine places left on the planet, don't need to add another
I got a bit busy, my bad!
@InsaneCaterpilla 😛 Glad to hear you're well though.
Captain America was killed at the end of Civil War in the comics
I'm talking about the movies
he was shot by an ordinary citizen because of all the destruction caused by the fighting
Why would they end the avengers stor ark''
it was huge
and then they just brought him back
probably ran out of ideas
@CommanderSky1 Avenger: Endgame is the end of the 22 film story that began with Iron Man. Spider-Man: Far From Home begins the next arc
nothing last forever
the only reason the MCU will kill off characters is because their actors refuse to resign contracts
yes
and even then they might recast and call it a transformation
