Q. Which of the following processes will be most adversely affected if microorganisms are removed from a forest ecosystem?

AMUAMU 2014Ecosystem

If microbes are removed from a forest ecosystem, nitrogen-fixation and decomposition of organic matter will be high affected. There are many nitrogen-fixing microbes involved in biological nitrogen-fixation.
Bacteria and fungi secrete enzymes to degrade organic matter into simpler inorganic substances.
