In 2015, over 200,000 saiga antelopes died in kazakhstan, and researchers recently determined that a severe bacterial infection caused these deaths. 200,000 dead antelopes greatly changed the ecosystem processes occurring in the dry grasslands of kazakhstan (48 degrees north latitude). determine if each of the following statements is likely or not likely to occur following the mass death of these animals.
soil microbial respiration will increase, thereby increasing oxygen output from the soil.
a. likely
b. not likely

from my research i have to the conclusion that decomposers, such as fungi, bacteria and invertebrates, play a critical role in nutrient cycling and without them the earth's ecosystem may not support life as we know it. elements such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus exist in limited amounts on earth, although huge amounts of carbon are being released into the atmosphere from underground sources now by humans. it is still extremely important that other nutrients be retained by the process of re-use. decomposers are organisms that are able to chemically break down dead material and make these elements available for use by other organisms. without this breakdown of dead material, dead bodies would pile up. so decomposers also play a role in clean up also. without them, life might not continue as we know it and dead material would overwhelm the earth.
