90% of the plants and the animals in a forest return to the soil. Bacteria and fungi then break down these dead matter into nutrients that can be used by plants to make new plants. If bacteria and fungi do this by themselves, they would take a long time. That is why they need the help of animals that live in the leaf litter and the soil. These animals are called decomposers. In addition to decomposers, there are predators which feed on decomposers.
