If the number of decomposers in an ecosystem suddenly decreases which type of organism will be affected?
I think it will be the primary consumers since they cant eat any grass?
Why is the carbon cycle affecting climate change around the world?
because the carbon cycle has affected the ecosystem and makes producers get eaten by consumers
How might ths chipmunk be affected if the decomposers in this ecosystem decrease a lot?
How can a chipmunk be offected if the decomposers in this ecosystem decrease a lot?
What problems would you expect to observe in an ecosystem without secondary consumers?
If there were no secondary consumers, there would be an increased population ofprimary consumers. Since primary consumers are herbivores, they would be eating plant life (producers) at a much higher rate. This could lead to many implications. Plant life may be threatened. Which would cause increased difficulty for primary consumers to survive after they overpopulate. If plants are over consumed, microorganisms that rely on plants as hosts (either parasitic, or many times symbiotic) will suffer. If those plants are flowering, local bee and pollinator populations can also be affected. Overpopulation of primary consumers can lead to diseased of primary consumers. since there would be more of them. They could also encroach on new territory an harm wildlife in another area. Loss of plant life can lead to erosion and loss of land nutrients, along with any farming capability. Can also be desert forming. Hope this helps
What type of change was seen in the ecosystems affected by the 1988 fires in the Yellowstone park?

If the atmospheric carbon dioxide were reduced the first organism to disminish in number would most likely be producers primary consumers decomposers scavengers?
Photosynthetic organisms use carbon dioxide to grow, using the sun's energy to break apart the molecules so it can use the carbon to grow. Photosynthetic organisms such as all land-based plants, algae, and phytoplankton could be affected by a severe drop in phytoplankton. The death of the plants would then affect primary consumers of the plants, then ripple out to the carnivorous consumers that eat the plant-eaters.

Does the temperature affect decomposers?
Essentially, all chemical (and physical) proces are affected by temperature. This includes the processes intimately used by decomposers.

How may the consumers be affected by production of goods?

Why are 2nd order consumers are more likely to be affected by the DDT than the 1st order consumers?
BIOACCUMULATION
What populations of organisms would be affected if grass is removed?
Almost all of the organisms will be affected because the grass is the first step in energy flow or what we called PRODUCERS.
What would happen if all the fertility of a soil if all the decomposers were removed?
plant growth would be affected.
What are the factors affecting the behavior?
Consumer behavior is affected by the earning power of the consumers. That means it is affected by the state of the economy.
