Decomposer

Definition: decomposer

decomposer: An organism which feeds on dead organic matter and breaks it down into simple chemicals, e.g., a fungus or bacterium. Decomposers play a crucial role in nutrient cycling and soil health. Farmers should encourage the presence of decomposers in their soil through practices like adding organic matter, reducing chemical inputs, and maintaining soil moisture. Healthy populations of decomposers can improve soil structure, fertility, and plant growth.
