About this document
Understanding Trophic Levels and Decomposers by ultimasly is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document defines trophic level as the position an organism occupies in the food web based on how many steps removed it is from the primary producers. Primary producers like plants and algae are at trophic level 1. Herbivores that eat plants are at trophic level 2. Carnivores that eat herbivores or other carnivores are at trophic level 3. Decomposers that break down dead organisms are also at trophic level 1. The trophic level of organisms in a food chain or web can be deduced based on what they consume
