other consumer organisms called decomposers and detritus feeders complete the cycling of nutrients by releasing nutrients from the dead bodies of plants and animals for reuse by producers.
其他消費生物體稱為分解者和食碎屑者完成營養素的循環經由生產者從植物和動物的屍體釋放養分重複使用。
Decomposer,primarily certain types of bacteria and fungi, are specialized consumer organisms that recycle nutrients in ecosystems.
分解者，主要是某些類型的細菌和真菌，在生態系統有專門的消費者生物循環養分。
they digest food outside of their bodies by secreting enzymes that break down the bodies of dead organisms into compounds such as water, carbon dioxide,minerals,and simpler organic compounds that producers can take up from the soil,water,and atmosphere and use as nutrients.
它們消化食物運用分泌的酵素分解屍體變成化合物，如將水，二氧化碳，礦物質，和更簡單的有機化合物，生產者可以從土壤，水和大氣中取出養分使用。
other consumers,called detritus feeders,or detritivores,feed on the wastes or dead bodies of other organisms,called detritus.
其他消費者，稱為食碎屑者，或碎屑清除者，他們的食物是廢物或其他生物的屍體，稱為碎屑。
examples include small organisms such as mites and earthworms,some insects,and larger scavenger organisms such as vultures.
例如包括小生物，如蟎和蚯蚓，一些昆蟲，和更大清道夫生物如禿鷹..
these organisms extract some of the chemical energy stored in dead organic matter,and their bodies and wastes in turn serve as food for other detritus feeders and decomposers.
這些生物中提取的一些化學能儲存在死的有機物，其物體和廢物又當食碎屑者和分解者的食物。
hordes of these organisms can transform a fallen tree trunk into a powder and finally into simple inorganic molecules that plants can absorb as nutrients.
成群的這些生物體能夠改變一個枯死的樹幹成粉末，並最終成簡單的無機分子，植物可吸收的營養物質。
thus,in natural ecosystems the wastes and dead bodies of organisms serve as resources for other organisms,as the nutrients that make life possible are recycled again and again---another scientific principle of sustainability.
因此，在自然生態系統的生物體的廢物和屍體作為資源用於其他生物體，如營養，使生活可能回收一次又一次，另一個可持續性的科學原理。
in summary,some organisms produce the nutrients they need,others get the nutrients they need by consuming other organisms,and some recycle the nutrients in the wastes and remains of organisms so that producers can use them again.
總之，一些生物體產生他們所需要的營養素，其他獲得他們所需要的養分吃掉其他生物體，一些回收養分在廢物和生物體的遺骸，使生產者可以再次使用他們。
