Voorbeelden van decomposer

• Gastropods, isopods, diplopods, and chilopods: neglected groups of the decomposer food web.

• This is a potential indication of a decomposer's adaptation to specific substrates in a tropical forest.

• The different trophic niches of oribatid mite species help in explaining the high diversity of decomposer invertebrates in forest ecosystems.

• The size of a particle determines the ability of a decomposer organism to ingest the material.

• Presumably, o similar low decomposition rates are caused by functionally similar decomposer communities developing on lower-quality litters of varying chemical composition.

• Threshold values also exist for overall regressive succession; standing crop biomass; energy flows to grazing and decomposer food chains; mineral micro-nutrient stocks and so on.

• Short-term responses of soil decomposer communities to forest management: c lear felling versus a lternative forest harvesting methods.

• This study shows the variety of ways in which differences in foraging behaviour, body size, and life history among termite species in this decomposer community can influence decomposition.

• The mechanism presented is that ectomycorrhizal fungi can compete with free-living decomposers for nutrients, and thereby limit the rate of total decomposition.

• Since then there have been several other reports of ectomycorrhizal fungi reducing activity and decomposition rates of free-living decomposers and thereby increasing soil carbon storage.

• If it had feeding habits similar to the majority of apterygotes of today, it lived mostly as a decomposer.

• This ink cap species is a decomposer which can be found in grassy areas, alone, scattered or in small groups.

• What is left behind by the detritivores is then further broken down and recycled by decomposers, such as bacteria and fungi.

• The greater humidity allows fungi and other decomposers to flourish.

• Fungi are examples of saprobiontic organisms also known as decomposers.
