Reason for exsistensive of decompositio |
| Answer» The importance for the existence of decomposers in an ecosystem are as follows:1) decomposers clear the ground of all the dead bodies of plants and animals by decomposing them.2) they helped to maintain the chain of carbon cycle by decomposing the bodies of Dead plants and animals.\xa0ORDecomposers are the microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi that consume dead organic material. Decomposers play an important role in the environment.1. These organisms process organic constituents (e.g., plant material) to release carbon and other nutrients such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). This process helps in transfer of energy and cycling of nutrients between various trophic levels in an ecosystem.2. These help in the formation of soil. These add organic matter by degrading energy rich organic compounds and producing more refractory materials such as humus.3. They help in decomposing of the dead bodies of plants and animals, and hence act as cleansing agents of environment. | |
