Keystone Species-The Beaver

A keystone species has a large impact on their habitat given their size and numbers. Their daily activities impact all kinds of other species.
A keystone is a central stone at the summit of an arch, locking the whole together.
A keystone species helps keep the entire ecosystem together
When beavers build their dam and lodge they basically create their own wetlands which impact many other organisms.
In addition, as the number of beavers increase the biodiversity of the ecosystem increases, and also the inverse fewer beavers less biodiversity
You may have heard the expression “ Busy as a beaver?”
That is because they, well stay busy building stuff.
Beavers build dams and a lodge to live in.
The dam transforms a stream or creek into a wetland.
