An increase in decomposers
A sharp drop in primary consumers
choices are
faster recycling of nutrients back into the soil
less energy is available for secondary consumers
less conversion of light energy to chemical energy

Large-scale deforestation — less conversion of light energy to chemical energy

An increase in decomposers — faster recycling of nutrients back into the soil

A sharp drop in primary consumers — less energy is available for secondary consumers
