Predict how an ecosystem would respond if either its producers or decomposers were removed.

If the producers were removed then there would be no beginning to the food chain and the complete ecosystem would die off. If the detrivores and decomposers were removed there would be no organic nutrients and all the dead plants would ruin the animals habitat.The ecosystem will be fill by plants and animal wastes as there will be no decomposition of waste material.
