Final answer:

When goat population decreases in grasslands, it can lead to interspecific competition between predators, reduced energy at the carnivore trophic level, and decreased biomass.


Explanation:

When the population of goats decreases due to natural causes in grasslands, three possible consequences include:

  1. There will be interspecific competition between foxes and tigers.
  2. The energy received at the trophic level of carnivores will be less than the usual amount.
  3. There will be decreased biomass at the trophic level of carnivores.
