Decomposers: Earth’s Clean-Up Crew

Decomposers are the small living things that recycle plant scraps and other leftover materials in nature. Some decomposers, like earthworms and snails, are large enough that people can see them. Others are so small you need a microscope. All decomposers work hard to make healthy soil that helps plants to grow.
