Explain why an increase in the amount of organic matter in a aquatic ecosystem will reduce oxygen levels?

An increase in the amount of organic matter in an aquatic system will reduce oxygen levels because if more organic matter is introduced the population of decomposing bacteria will increase and they will use up more oxygen for respiration (by which they decompose matter) than that which is being produced, thereby reducing oxygen levels.

How do organisms in an ecosystem depend on detritivores?
Detritivores decompose organic materials in an ecosystem and return the nutrients to the soil, air, and water.
What is the role of a plant in an ecosystem?
As photosynthesizers, plants provide organic molecules for energy (food) for the entire ecosystem. They provide oxygen as well.
