Wow, after they spelled it out with visuals and everything, there's still confusion about this? So many explanations here, but none of them get to the point.

Growing Gems suck the life force out of the earth itself. It's been explained that Gems don't have to eat because their gemstones supply them infinite energy. They have to get that energy from somewhere and they get it when they first start growing and gestating.

So yes, that destroys the ecology. No, Gems don't need to tap the earth anymore once they're fully grown.
