Describe how, and at what levels, decomposers operate within an ecosystem that has 4 trophic levels - producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, and tertiary consumers.

Provide examples of the role of decomposers on at least two of those levels.

Decomposers restore vital nutrients in the soil, which facilitates the growth of plants/autotrophs. These autotrophs then provide nutrients to the following levels.
Two roles of decomposers are:
•Restoring nutrients in the soil
•Providing nutrients to plants

I hope I helped!
