Many primary and higher-order consumers are opportunistic feeders. Decomposers compete with higher-order consumers for nutrients and energy. Nutrient cycling involve both abiotic and biotic components of ecosystems. Nutrient cycling rates tend to be limited by decomposition. Energy transfer between trophic levels in almost all cases less than 20% efficient.
