Will the impact of removing all the organisms in a trophic level be different for different trophic levels? Can the organisms of any trophic level be removed without causing any damage to the ecosystem?

Answer:
a google explanation
Explanation:
"Some or the other damage would be caused to the ecosystem if the organisms of any trophic level are removed. However, impact of removing producers or decomposers would be severe as the whole ecosystem would collapse. Without plants sun's energy cannot be converted to chemical energy which is the basis of life on earth." - Google
Explanation:
Impact of removing all organisms of a trophic level is different for different trophic levels.
For example, if we remove producers from a food chain, no organism will get food, if we remove herbivores from a food chain then carnivores will die and producers will also die due to competition for space and nutrients. No, we can't remove any trophic level without causing damage to the ecosystem as one is dependent on other for their survival. If we remove any one this will create imbalnce in the ecosystem.
