What would happen if all the decomposers were eliminated from the earth? Explain.

Solution
Verified by Toppr

Elimination of decomposers will cause (i) Piling up of excretions, litter and dead bodies of plants and animals. Soon there will be no free space for new generations of (ii) Non-cycling of biogenetic nutrients. As a result all the available biogenetic nutrients will be tied up in organic matter. Further synthesis of organic matter will stop resulting in destruction of life.
