Detailed explanation-1: -After death, decomposition releases carbon into the air, soil and water. Living things capture this liberated carbon to build new life. It’s all part of what scientists call the carbon cycle .
Detailed explanation-2: -Plant and animal wastes decompose, adding nitrogen to the soil. Bacteria in the soil convert those forms of nitrogen into forms plants can use. Plants use the nitrogen in the soil to grow. People and animals eat the plants; then animal and plant residues return nitrogen to the soil again, completing the cycle.
Detailed explanation-3: -Decomposers are essential in the biogeochemical cycles because they help break down organic matter, releasing carbon dioxide and water vapor, which are then used for photosynthesis by plants.
