When producers die, the primary source of energy and nutrients in an ecosystem is disrupted, leading to a decline in the food supply for consumers that rely on them. This can cause a ripple effect, where herbivores (primary consumers) struggle to find food, subsequently impacting carnivores (secondary and tertiary consumers) that depend on them. Over time, this imbalance can lead to decreased populations of consumers and potential shifts in the ecosystem dynamics, as species adapt, migrate, or face extinction.
