What would happen if all the consumers disappeared in an ecosystem?
The decomposers would die because there was no leftover food for them from dead animals, and the producers would over grow.
What do all the cycles have in common?
They all recycle essential elements.
What is Eutrophication?
The process in which organic matter and you can slowly build up in a body of water .
How does energy affect plants and animals in an ecosystem?
