The detrital food web consists of interconnected food chains that focus on the decomposition processes of nutrients in decayed organic matter. Detrital food webs, placed in comparison to a grazing food web, is more engaged with abiotic components of an ecosystem. Another distinction in detrital food webs is that the energy from producers flow directly to decomposers and detritivores.

What is a detrital food web?

The detrital food web involves consuming a dead animal for example, a vulture. The decomposing remains of the carcass become nutrients for the soil, thus returning the minerals back into the ground, possibly nitrates would be involved in the process.

How are the detrital food chain and grazing food chain connected?

The detrital food chain and grazing food chain are interconnected through the flow of energy and nutrients in ecosystems. In the grazing food chain, primary producers (like plants) are consumed by herbivores, which are then eaten by carnivores. Detritivores and decomposers in the detrital food chain break down organic matter from dead plants and animals, recycling nutrients back into the soil, which supports primary producers, thus linking the two chains. This interconnectedness highlights the importance of both chains in maintaining ecosystem health and nutrient cycling.
