Question

What are decomposers? What will be the consequences of their absence in an ecosystem?

Answer 1

Decomposers or saprotrophs are organisms that break down dead or decaying organisms, and in doing so carry out the natural process of decomposition.if there were no decomposers in the ecosystem then there would be no organic nutrients and all dead plants and animals would ruin the animal habitat. The ecosystem will be filled with plants and animals waste.

Answer 2

decomposers are the ones present at the top[ trophic level] and are the ones which grow on dead and decaying matter and convert the into simple organic compounds. if they are not present then,there will be too much accumulation of waste leading to foul smell and development of new diseases and no replenishment of the natural resources
