Answer 1

If we completely remove the decomposers from an ecosystem, the ecosystem functioning will be adurely affected because the mineral movement will be blocked.

Explanation:

Minerals trapped in organic matter are released by decomposers such as fungi and bacteria. As a result, they aid in mineral recycling, and removing decomposers altogether will halt mineral movement.
