Keystone species. A keystone species is one that has a disproportionate effect upon the persistence of all other species. Keystone species are of different types: carnivores (mountain lions, killer whales, sea otters), herbivores (snowshoe hares, caribou), competitors (aggressive exotics, dominant forest trees), symbionts (major pollinators, mycorrhizal fungi of dominant trees), earth-movers (earthworms, pocket gophers); plants that alter the fire regime (producing major fire loads), and system processors (nitrogen fixers like lichens and Alnus). 1, record 1, English, - system%20processor
