Consumer
White tailed deer are consumers because they are herbivores and only eat plant material. They are not producers because they don't make there own food using the sunlight and energy to make sugar. They are not decomposers because they do not eat dead animals and plants, or their waste. They are consumers because they eat producers which are plants.
Other organism effects
The white tailed deer's impact on the ecosystem is that they are important prey animals for a lot of large predators. They also can be responsible for girdling and also killing more than enough trees which gives other herbivores that eat trees less food.
Animal Impact
Other organisms depend on the white tailed deer because it is a food source for other organisms such as jaguars, coyotes, bears, mountain lions, wolves, and sometimes humans. Also some people use their fur or skin as clothing or shoes.
If the white tailed deer was ever removed from their ecosystem, a lot of large predators would have less food because some of their main food sources is white tailed deer.
