Question

Mention the role of decomposition in an ecosystem.

Answer 1

Hint: The useful substances obtained from the decomposed biodegradable substances. The fertilization of the soil obtained from the decaying matter and decomposition of the dead bodies that help to release the nutrients into the soil. The nutrients present in the pool are maintained by the nutrients and help in returning back.

Complete answer:
Biotic components and abiotic components that are necessary for the maintenance of the life obtained from the dynamic system which is included from the both organisms. Aquatic and terrestrial are the two main parts of the ecosystem that are introduced by the “Sir Arthur Tansley ''. Different species such as trees occurred in the higher level than shrubs are the stratification of the vertical distribution of the different species. Nutrients, energy flow, productivity, and decomposition are the various aspects taken into the study of the ecosystem. The ecosystem functioning occurred under the constant supply of the sunlight. During the photosynthesis that is known as the primary productivity in the amount of biomass in which per unit production area found over the time period by the plants. The net primary productivity and gross primary productivity are the two divisions of the ecosystem and gross primary productivity obtained due to the photosynthesis and NPP obtained from the amount of energy that utilizes after the left energy of the respiration.

Note: The substances such as water, nutrients and carbon dioxide are breakdown according to the process of complex Organic matter into the organic substances with the steps of fragmentation, leaching, mineralization, catabolism, and humification. Sun is the only source of the energy provided in the ecosystem. Photosynthetically active radiation is the process in t plant’s and other organisms use less than 50% of the energy in the ecosystem.
