|
|
Fewer carbon compounds are broken down; therefore, less CO2 is released into the atmosphere.
|
|
|
Loss of decomposers causes an increase in CO2 levels in the atmosphere.
|
|
|
Primary consumers are not able to consume as many producers.
|
|
|
An increase in the burning of wood and fossil fuels will occur.

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: If decomposers are removed from the carbon cycle the cycle would slow down and eventually stop because carbon could not be returned to the Earth. During the carbon cycle, plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and fix it into organic molecules during photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Decomposers break down the dead organisms and return the carbon in their bodies to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide by respiration. In some conditions, decomposition is blocked. The plant and animal material may then be available as fossil fuel for combustion in the future.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Decomposers break down organic carbon compounds and release carbon back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide where is can again be used by plants and other photosynthetic organisms to produce organic carbon.
