How do decomposers disrupt the equilibrium or balance of an ecosystem?
Decomposers get their food energy by digesting wastes such as urine, feces, and the bodies of dead organisms. As decomposers digest these wastes, some of the chemical substances that make up the wastes enter the soil, water, and air. These substances include carbon, nitrogen, iron, and other chemicals that living things need and use as nutrients. Thanks for using ChaCha!
