1. If we remove producers from ecosystem, herbivores will not survive and the entire ecosystem collapse. 

2. Removing herbivores result in increase number of producers and carnivores would not get food.

3. Removing carnivores result in increase of herbivores to unsustainable levels. 

4. If we remove decomposers from ecosystem waste material and animal dead remains would pile up and nutrients would not be available to the producers. 

5. Some or the other damage would be caused to the ecosystem if the organisms of any trophic level is removed. 

6. However impact of removing producers or decomposers would be serve as the whole ecosystem would collapse. 

7. Without plants sun’s energy cannot be converted to chemical energy which is the basis of life on earth. 

8. Without decomposers the nutrients cannot be recycled and made available to producers.
