If fallen folliage in forest, dead trees, plants had not been decomposed by years....
Answers
Answer:
Only by decomposition the elements and molecules trapped in the bodies of organisms can be sent back to the nature. These various components help in the formation of the bodies of plants and animals. If they are not sent back to nature, the cyclical flow of these elements will halt.
Explanation:
Litterfall, plant litter, leaf litter, tree litter, soil litter, or duff, is dead plant material (such as leaves, bark, needles, twigs, and cladodes) that have fallen to the ground. This detritus or dead organic material and its constituent nutrients are added to the top layer of soil, commonly known as the litter layer or O horizon ("O" for "organic"). Litter is an important factor in ecosystem dynamics, as it is indicative of ecological productivity and may be useful in predicting regional nutrient cycling and soil fertility.
