A decrease in the population of decomposers can cause a decrease in carbon dioxide in the air (abiotic matter) of the biodome. True or false?
Added by Adam R.
Step 1
In the process of decomposition, decomposers release carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere as a byproduct of respiration. If the population of decomposers decreases, there will be fewer organisms breaking down dead organic matter, which means less CO2 will be Show more…
