Why are composers important to the nitrogen cycle?
Composers, or decomposers, play a crucial role in the nitrogen cycle by breaking down organic matter, such as dead plants and animals, and returning nitrogen to the soil in forms that can be utilized by plants. This process, known as decomposition, converts complex organic nitrogen compounds into simpler inorganic forms, like ammonium (NH4+), which can be taken up by plants. By facilitating nutrient recycling, decomposers help maintain soil fertility and support the growth of ecosystems. Without them, nitrogen would remain locked in organic matter and become unavailable to living organisms.
