Nature’s Recycling Heroes
When we think about recycling we often think about household recycling, rather than natural recycling processes called decomposition.
Local decomposers are typically invertebrates, bacteria, or fungi that break down nature’s ‘waste’ into soil.

Are the recycling heroes the same for each resource, or do they have different jobs within nature’s ‘recycling centre’?
