Decomposers are life forms that break down dead plants and animals so that the nutrients are released back into the water and air, where they become available to plants. The main decomposers of the pond are fungi and bacteria. See "The Pond" by Gerald Thompson and Jennifer Coldrey, Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 1984.
