Decomposers and Detritivores
11.1 Introduction When plants and animals die, their bodies become resources for other organisms. Of course, in a sense, most consumers live on dead material - the carnivore catches and kills its prey, and the living leaf taken by a herbivore is dead by the time digestion starts.

MAKING THE FOREST AND TUNDRA WILDLIFE CONNECTION
Detritivores include some large animals, such as ravens; however, the most important detritivores are invertebrates (such as insects), fungi (such as mushrooms), and microscopic organisms (such as bacteria).
Reprinted from BioScience
Arthropods in the canopy have their greatest effect on mobile elements such as potassium, whereas soil detritivores influence mineralization rates of less mobile elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and calcium.
