Question

Which populations would benefit the most from the presence of decomposers?

Answer 1

I'm guessing there was answer choices to this problem? regardless I think I know the answer to it. Plant populations would benefit the most of the presence of decomposers due to the fact that decomposers release nutrients into the soil when they break down things.

Answer 2

Producers (plants) would benefit most from the presence of decomposers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The act of recycling practiced by decomposing beings plays an important role in the ecological balance of the planet, because in addition to putting an end to the organic remains of dead beings, they produce nutrients. These nutrients are essential for the continuity of life within ecosystems. Plants, for example, are extremely dependent on this process as they need to absorb nutrients in the soil to grow. As the plants represent the producer population, it can be said that the producers will benefit most from the presence of decomposers.
