The Importance of Detritivores in Soil Health and Fertility

Detritivorous means feeding on decaying plant or animal matter. Detritivores are organisms that consume dead and decaying material, helping to break it down and recycle nutrients in the ecosystem. Examples of detritivores include earthworms, dung beetles, and fungi. These organisms play a crucial role in maintaining soil health and fertility by consuming decaying plant matter and excreting nutrient-rich waste.
