Decomposers or scavengers. Scavengers like Tasmanian devils or vultures feast on dead carcasses and get their energy from it. They only get 10% of the original energy in the dead animal. Decomposers such as bacteria and worms decompose the dead leaves or animals by eating them and returning it to the soil. Decomposers and Scavengers are Earth's clean-up crew. When the dead things are decomposed, it is used to create Nitrates, Oxygen, or even fertilizer for plants.
