In the desert ecosystems where sand cats live, decomposers primarily include organisms like bacteria, fungi, and detritivores such as insects and scavengers. These decomposers play a crucial role in breaking down organic matter, recycling nutrients back into the soil, and supporting the overall health of the ecosystem. By facilitating the decomposition process, they help sustain the food chain for various desert species, including sand cats.
