Tree underpopulation
and deciduous trees. Trees are a vital species contribute to the world's habitats, and provide food for some herbivores because they use photosynthesis, which are vital to all ecosystems, which are demonstrated by food webs/food chains. Trees are a form of producers and are a renewable resource that are sometimes eaten by detrivores/decomposers. They also help get rid of global warming.
Extinct/endangered species

This is a harmless cactus that is guaranteed to cause the extinction of your community and possibly species.

Green Beans
Possibly the most useful producer, these green beans are eaten by herbivores like you, and are known to ease hunger cramps.

Carnivorous worms
These worms are guaranteed to bite off your finger, hand, arm and torso. They will leave the rest for detrivores and decomposers, though, so don't feel like they're hogging you!
