Question

What if all the decomposers were suddenly removed from the earth?

Answer 1

Decomposers help in decomposing the dead bodies of plants and animals.If however, there were no decomposers, then the dead bodies of plants and animals would keep on accumulating and the elements in their bodies would never be returned to their original pools like soil, air, and water.

In the absence of decomposers, soil, air, and water would not be replenished, and all the nutrients present would soon get exhausted. Hence, the cyclic process of life and death would be disrupted and life would come to an end.
