In the Himalayas, decomposers include bacteria, fungi, and invertebrates such as earthworms, mites, and insects. These organisms break down dead plants and animals, converting them into simpler substances that can be used by plants and other organisms.
Decomposers play a particularly important role in the Himalayas due to the extreme conditions and limited resources available for plant growth. They help to recycle nutrients back into the soil quickly and help plants to survive in these harsh conditions.
