Text: In reality, plants are actually farming us, by giving us oxygen daily, until we all eventually decompose so they can consume us.`
decomposers turn organic material from corpses into simpler nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. for example, proteins are broken down into amino acids, which then decompose into ammonium and nitrates. these nutrients are absorbed into soil and consumed by plants
tldr: plants eat corpses after decomposers turn them into nutrients
Makes sense, thanks!
