What will happen to the ecosystem if deomposers are removed?
Decomposers are heterotrophic organisms mostly bacteria and fungi, which live on dead organic matter or detritus. They release different enzymes from their bodies into dead and decaying plant and animal remains and break them down into simpler substances like minerals which are added to the soil. These substances enrich the soil and help the producers grow. Thus, if they are removed from the ecosystem, the complete mineral cycle will be stopped or blocked.
