The relevant field is astrobiology, the most highly funded branch of science that has the least scientific evidence supporting it. It encompasses cosmology, chemistry, geology, astrophysics, and biology predominantly and is exploring and attempting to generate knowledge on every aspect of naturalistic investigation of panspermia, habitability of exoplanets, energy sources in the cosmos, potential astro-intelligence, and composition of meteors, comets, asteroids, planets, solar systems and galaxies. The scope of astrobiology must accommodate virtually all of physical reality to be truly comprehensive.

Astrobiology is not funded well enough for the scope of the task, but is driving much of the science universe exploration projects to try to answer one of the fundamental questions of human history, is there other life and how did life come into being. Panspermia, non-directed (biochemical compounds from extraterrestrial sources of any type) and directed (intentional or non-intentional alien transmitted sources) are a prime astrobiological theoretical field and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence,SETI, is also a prime focus of astrobiology,

Answer from: Quest

from my research i have to the conclusion that decomposers, such as fungi, bacteria and invertebrates, play a critical role in nutrient cycling and without them the earth's ecosystem may not support life as we know it. elements such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus exist in limited amounts on earth, although huge amounts of carbon are being released into the atmosphere from underground sources now by humans. it is still extremely important that other nutrients be retained by the process of re-use. decomposers are organisms that are able to chemically break down dead material and make these elements available for use by other organisms. without this breakdown of dead material, dead bodies would pile up. so decomposers also play a role in clean up also. without them, life might not continue as we know it and dead material would overwhelm the earth.

Looking at the diagram above predict the effect on carbon cycle if all the decomposers were removed
