In chaparral ecosystems, decomposers play a crucial role in breaking down organic matter. Key decomposers include fungi, bacteria, and various detritivores such as earthworms and beetles. These organisms help recycle nutrients back into the soil, facilitating plant growth and maintaining ecosystem health. Their activity is especially important in the nutrient-poor soils typical of chaparral regions.
