Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Trophic levels within the ecosystem represent the feeding relationship within communities. There are various trophic levels that exist together within an ecosystem. It includes the producers, consumers, detritivores and decomposers, all these components are necessary to sustain a stable ecosystem. Energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next, but only ten percent of the energy is passed from one trophic level to the next. Producer forms the first trophic level and the detritivores and decomposers form the final trophic level within the ecosystem
