Question

9/20
the complete removal of decomposers from an ecosystem will have the greatest effect on which of the following?
the recycling of nutrients
the availability of water
migration
the distribution of organisms

Explanation:

Decomposers break down dead organic matter, releasing nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus back into the environment for producers to use. Without them, nutrients would remain trapped in dead material, halting their recycling. Water availability, migration, and organism distribution are not directly dependent on decomposer function.

Answer:

A. the recycling of nutrients
