Explain why decomposition rates in a field in Nebraska would differ from the decomposition rates in a field in the Amazon. How do decomposers regulate nutrient availability in ecosystems?

Video transcript

Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. So today we have that the organisms that feed on dead organisms and they release minerals and nutrients into the soil are termed which of the following terms. To remember that when we feed on the organisms and we release these minerals and nutrients into the soil this is called nutrient cycling. And so I want you to recall from previous videos an organism that undergoes this process of nutrient cycling and this is gonna be fun. Guy fungi are able to release these enzymes that they possess into dead organisms in order to decompose them because fungi are decompose ear's, they're able to break down these organisms into smaller parts which are these minerals and nutrients that then enter the soil and undergo nutrient cycling. So since we have organisms that decompose they're called the composers and this is going to be represented by answer choice D. That is the end of the video. I really hope this helped you.
