Detailed explanation-1: -Thanks to decomposers, nutrients get added back to the soil or water, so the producers can use them to grow and reproduce.
Detailed explanation-2: -Decomposers in ecosystems act as environmental cleaners by decaying dead plants and animals. They aid in the recycling of nutrients. They make room for a new life in the biosphere by decaying the dead.
Detailed explanation-3: -The advantages of decomposers to the environment are that they act as natural scavengers (an animal that feeds on carrion, dead plant material, ) and they also help in recycling nutrients. The decomposer is thought of as a primary source of litter and or waste in the ecosystems.
Detailed explanation-4: -Decomposers or saprotrophs recycle dead plants and animals into chemical nutrients like carbon and nitrogen that are released back into the soil, air and water.
Detailed explanation-5: -Decomposers get nutrients and energy by breaking down dead organisms and animal wastes. Through this process, decomposers release nutrients, such as carbon and nitrogen, back into the environment. These nutrients are passed to other organisms when they are eaten or consumed.
