ecosystem
Keystone species are the species that help to maintain local biodiversity within a community either by controlling populations of other species or by providing critical resources for a wide range of species. They has disproportionately large effect on its environment relative to its abundance. Thus, if the removal of these species occur they will affect the whole ecosystem.
