What is interrelationship of plants soil and decomposers in a forest?
Decomposers are the organisms that convert the dead plants and animals into humus. The nutrients released by the decomposers are taken up by the roots of the plants. In this way, the decomposers help in recycling the nutrients. This is how soil, plants and decomposers are interrelated in a forest.
How do nutrients get into soil?
Decomposers break down dead plants and animals. They return the nutrients to the soil.
How are plants dependent on animals soil decomposers?
Yes. The nutrients get released from the creature that decomposes and returned to the soil, which the plants absorb through their roots
What would happen to the plant population if the number of decomposers decreased?
The plants would not have enough nutrients from the soil because the decomposers are not around to decompose dead things and get the nutrients back into the soil.
How food nutrients cycle goes on and on in a forest ecosystem?
It is important in order for the ecosystem to produce more from the soil after the decomposers have gotten the nutrients back into the soil.
Why are decomposers necessary for the cycle of life?
Decomposers are very important to the subsistance of the planet. Turns out that we obtain food and oxygen thanks to plants and their process of photosyntesis. There are four essential things that plants need for photosynthesis: carbon dioxide, sun light, water and nutrients from the soil. We as living beings are full of nutrients. When we die the nutrients are trapped inside of us. Decomposers move in and start breaking us down (eating us) and their waste contains released nutrients and minerals. These nutrients fertilize the soil allowing the plants to absorb them and do photosynthesis.
How do nutrients get into the soil?
Nutrients enter the soil when an animal dies and its body decomposes into the soil, or when a plant decomposes into the soil when it dies. And that pretty much creates nutrients. :P
Are roots decomposers?
No, they are not. Roots are used by the plants, which are producers, to take up nutrients and water in the soil.
How do you make a food nutrients cycle?
Food nutrient cycle is on where the nutrients in the producers are passes onto many different links of consumers and when the final consumer dies, decomposers such as fungi and bacteria consume the dead body and the nutrients go back to the soil fertilizing it to be used by plants and the cycle goes on and on.Remember:a cycle never has a start or an end
How decomposers recycle nutrients?
When these living things die, bacteria break down their bodies into nutrients completing the cycle
What role decomposers play in the phosphorus cycle?
Decomposers release phosphorus into the soil from decaying animals and plants. Plants can now take up the phosphates in the soil. When animals eat the plants, they then have phosphates in them and they are released back into the soil through waste and decompostion (decaying).
How the food nutrient cycle goes on and on in a forests ecosystem?
It is important in order for the ecosystem to produce more from the soil after the decomposers have gotten the nutrients back into the soil.
