The impact of wild turkeys on Sierra Nevada ecosystems is largely unknown, but likely includes predation of native animal species (e.g., salamanders and insects), competition with native species for food (especially acorns), reduction in seeding rates of oaks and other native plants, disturbance of soils and forest litter, and support of unnaturally high predator populations.
