Foodwebs in most ecosystems are sustained by plants. Consumption of living plant material is often minimal, and the bulk of the plant production enters the detrital, or non-living, carbon pool. Fungi and bacteria initiate incorporation of this detritus into food webs. Microbial decomposition is therefore a key process both for plants (through release of nutrients) and animals (by making plant litter more nutritious to consumers).

大多数生态系统中的食物网都是由植物维持的。活的植物材料的消耗量通常很小，植物生产的大部分进入碎屑或非生物的碳池。真菌和细菌开始将这种碎屑结合到食物网中。因此，微生物分解对植物(通过释放营养物质)和动物(通过使植物垃圾对消费者更有营养)来说都是一个关键过程。
