Producers and Decomposers are the minimum requirements for an ecosystem to recycle nutrients.

Nutrient cycle is the movement of the nutrients from the physical environment into the living organisms and then back to the physical environment. Nutrient cycle involves both living as well as non-living components including biological, chemical and environmental interactions and processes.

By the process of obtaining food for energy the biotic factors are grouped as: producers or autotrophs, consumers or heterotrophs and decomposers.

Producers and decomposers are the most important factors which contribute in recycling the nutrients. Producers use the nutrients from physical environment through the process of photosynthesis and decomposers return back the nutrients into the physical environment as they obtain their food or energy by decaying or breaking down the dead remains of organisms chemically. Producers begin the food chain followed by consumers and then decomposers.

What contributed to the specification in Darwin's Finch theory
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

On his visit to the Galapagos Islands, Charles Darwin discovered several species of finches that varied from island to island, which helped him to develop his theory of natural selection.

Darwin's finches are a classical example of an adaptive radiation. Their common ancestor arrived on the Galapagos about two million years ago. During the time that has passed the Darwin's finches have evolved into 15 recognized species differing in body size, beak shape, song and feeding behaviour.
