Compose a 3-5 sentence paragraph that describes how a forest ecosystem might be different without the presence of decomposers and detritivores.

Explanation:

Without the presence of decomposers and detritivores in a forest ecosystem organic material would not break down and the nutrients would no longer be available to other organisms. Moreover, dead plants and animals will pile up. Because, detritivores eat fragments of dead matter in an ecosystem and decomposers break down dead organisms so the environment will no longer be clean.
