Insects, bacteria, and fungus are among the decomposers that may be found in temperate grasslands. Many biomes, especially grasslands, have little insects called arthropods in their soil. They don't just break down and pulverize organic matter; they also encourage the growth of other decomposers like fungus. Another fungus that lives in grasslands is called mycorrhizae. It also has a symbiotic association with plants that aids in the absorption of nutrients in addition to breaking down nutrients. The plant's roots are home to this fungus. These decomposers support the formation of a nutrient cycle and the degradation of plant and animal waste.
