decomposers
Beetles play a crucial role in decomposition by breaking down organic matter, including dead plants, decaying wood, and animal remains. Specific beetles, like carrion beetles, specialize in decomposing dead animals, while others help decompose leaf litter and fungi. Through their feeding and burrowing activities, beetles accelerate the breakdown process, aiding nutrient cycling in ecosystems.
