What happens to dead plants and animals?

What happens if there is too many nitrates and phosphates in water?
When there is too much phosphate in the water it causes algal blooms. When the decomposers try to break down the phosphate they use up all the oxygen, leaving none for the other organisms. when this happens all the organisms end up dying.
What must organisms do in a changing environment if they are to survive?
Organisms can cause changes in their environment to ensure survival in various ways. This happens through the various processes that cause organisms in different trophic levels to interact from producers to consumers and to decomposers.
