Unlocking The Essential Role Of Decomposers: Nutrient Cycling, Ecosystem Health, And Climate Regulation
Decomposers in the ocean are organisms that break down organic matter into simpler substances, releasing nutrients back into the ecosystem. They include microorganisms (bacteria, fungi), and animals (worms, crabs). Decomposers play a crucial role in nutrient cycling, removing waste and supporting ecosystem productivity. They are affected by environmental conditions, microbial diversity, and human activities. Deep-sea…
