because special consumers like maggots eat abiotic (dead) things like planets and animals so if there were no "special" consumers there would be dead bodies
Producers somehow affect - whether directly or indirectly - every organism in their ecosystem. All producers make their own food - either through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, and the consumers of the ecosystem eat the producers, and other consumers eat those consumers, and eventually every organism in that ecosystem has consumed producers.
Five living parts of an ecosystem would consist of producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers and decomposers. These all come together and make an ecosystem.
The web of relationships gives an ecosystem its structure and life. This will show the feeding relationships between producers, consumers and decomposers which will result into a balance in the ecosystem.
It all depends on the number of producers, how many consumers there are. In a desert there are may be only a hundred but in a tropical rain forest there are millions.
well the food chain goes like this the producers make their own food and then the consumers eat them when it reaches the top level consumers they die and the decomposers eat them ,but if the decomposers die what will the middle class consumers eat so the middle class consumers will die out,but then the top class consumers have to eat the smaller and lower consumers which is not enough for them so now all the lower consumers will get eaten and die+the top class consumers will dievof hunger. thus if the decomposers were removed from the energy pyramaind it will affect almost all of the ecosystem.
why are there relatively few third-level consumers in an ecosystem?why are there fewer 3rd level consumers in an ecosystem?
All organisms that are not plants are consumers in any biome, deserts included.
Energy flow in an ecosystem is cyclical. remove the decomposers and it becomes linear. Like a pirate's plank.
They are all types of consumers but if you really want the answer you shouldn't google it you should look it up in the book...

An ecosystem is a community of living organisms in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment. Energy, water, nitrogen and soil minerals are other essential abiotic components of an ecosystem.
