squirrels eat acorns which fall in abundance. by eating these acorns they lessen the amount lying on the ground.

"Each of the organisms in this ecosystem has a particular way of fitting into the oak tree environment - they each occupy a niche within the ecosystem.

The two species occupy different niches within the oak ecosystem." (BBC)
