Decomposers are living beings directly involved in the decomposition of dead organic matter (necromass) or excrement or excreta of living beings of different trophic levels.

The four trophic levels (with examples) are:

*Producers, such as herbs and algae.

*Herbivores, such as rabbit and sheep.

*Primary carnivores, such as wolves and eagles

*Secondary carnivores, such as lions and bears

Plant decomposers would operate above the producer level. Two examples are earthworms and fungi. These would decompose dead plant matter into nutrients that are then re-assimilated by plants. Animal decomposers operate within the consumer levels, and would include species such as maggots, shrimp, clams, crabs, lobsters and flat<span>worms</span>. Nutrients recycled by these decomposers would also be recycled back to the producers.

valina [46]

Biotic factors such as the presence of autotrophs or self-nourishing organisms such as plants, and the diversity of consumers also affect an entire ecosystem. Abiotic factors affect the ability of organisms to survive and reproduce. Abiotic limiting factors restrict the growth of populations.

1. Research, education and monitoring 

2. Recreation & tourism 

3. Cultural values 

Explanation:

Biodiversity is “the variability among existing animals from all causes including temporal, marine and other aquatic ecosystems, and the environmental complex.

Pollinators, including bees and butterflies, contribute meaningful environmental and economic advantages to agricultural and essential ecosystems, including adding heterogeneity and productivity to food crops. As many as one-third of the world's food production relies directly or indirectly on insect pollination.

If water were a non polar molecule, how would its properties be different ?
igor_vitrenko [27]
The answer would be C.

Nonpolar molecules cannot form hydrogen bonds that polar molecules can. Interactions between nonpolar molecules are very weak thus D is wrong. And water can climb up inside plants and has adhesion and cohesion because of it’s strong hydrogen bonds.
