Question

What is the effect on environment if we remove decomposers from food web?

Answer 1

Decomposers, such as fungi, bacteria and invertebrates, play a critical role in nutrient cycling and without them the earth's ecosystem may not support life as we know it. Elements such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus exist in limited amounts on Earth, although huge amounts of carbon are being released into the atmosphere from underground sources now by humans. It is still extremely important that other nutrients be retained by the process of re-use. Decomposers are organisms that are able to chemically break down dead material and make these elements available for use by other organisms. Without this breakdown of dead material, dead bodies would pile up. So decomposers also play a role in clean up also. Without them, life might not continue as we know it and dead material would overwhelm the Earth.

Hey mate here is your answer hope this answer will help you.☺☺☺

Decomposers and scavengers break down dead plants and animals. They also break down the waste (poop) of other organisms. Decomposers are very important for any ecosystem. If they weren't in the ecosystem, the plants would not get essential nutrients, and dead matter and waste would pile up.
