Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we delve into the critical role of dead organic matter—often referred to as detritus—in sustaining ecosystems. From fallen leaves to decomposing organisms, this organic material is broken down by decomposers like fungi, bacteria, and invertebrates, recycling nutrients back into the soil and supporting plant growth. Understanding this natural process highlights the importance of decomposition in maintaining soil health and ecosystem balance.
