How does the cycling of matter affect a food chain?

Lions are probably the highest on the food chain and the food web because no other animals would dare to kill a lion to eat besides maybe human predators, meanwhile gazelles could be eaten by lions, tigers, panthers, and other big cats so there would be more of them, it is common for those to be lower on the food chain and the food web to have a higher population . Hope this helps(:
