As the dead trees decompose they give nutrients back to the soil. This happens when worms, bugs and other organism eat the dead wood and then leave their droppings behind, fertilizing the soil. These bugs and organisms are food for birds and other animals. Laying on the ground, they also help trap moisture for other organisms to use. So the trees may be dead, but they are still an important part of the food chain and the ecosystem. That is why they are purposely left by park rangers.
