What would happen if there was an absence of decomposers in an ecosystem?

Give two examples of decomposers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Imagine what would happen if there were no decomposers. Wastes and the remains of dead organisms would pile up and the nutrients within the waste and dead organisms would not be released back into the ecosystem. Producers would not have enough nutrients. Essentially, many organisms could not exist.

Bacteria and Fungi are examples of decomposers.
