How are food webs in a decomposition connected?

Food webs in a decomposition process are interconnected through various trophic levels, where decomposers such as bacteria, fungi, and detritivores break down dead organic matter. This breakdown releases nutrients back into the soil, supporting primary producers like plants. These plants, in turn, serve as a food source for herbivores, which are preyed upon by carnivores, creating a cyclical flow of energy and nutrients. Ultimately, the health of ecosystems relies on the efficiency of these decomposer food webs to recycle organic matter.
