Bacteria and fungi serve very crucial roles in rain forests. These roles include:
1)The bacteria and fungi are quite important in decomposition of dead decaying matter, a process that is quite crucial in the provision of nutrients for the trees in the forest.
2)Nitrogen fixation- bacteria such as nitrobacter help in the conversion of atmospheric nitrogen to nitrates and nitrates. This helps the trees to attain the important nitrogen nutrient.
3)The bacteria and fungi also help in dispersion of the trees as they attack the seedlings of the same species growing together in the same place. This helps dispersion of the trees into a wide area.
