Answer:

Positive feedback is used to build more contractions.

Explanation:

Positive feedback mechanism in humans is also observed during childbirth which is induced by the pressing of the ovarian wall by the baby.

The pressing sensation is passed to the brain via different nerves, and in response, the brain stimulates the pituitary to produce oxytocin.

Oxytocin is responsible for the contractions of the uterine muscles which cause the movement of the fetus towards the cervix, further increasing the stimulus.  

The positive feedback loop continues until the baby is born.

denis23 [38]
There would be an increase in dead matter and a lack of nutrients in the soil.

Decomposers break down dead matter, so without them there will be an increase.

They then return the nutrients from the dead matter to the soil, so there will be a lack of nutrients in the soil.

Examples of decomposers are mushrooms and earthworms.
