detritivore
Significado: An organism that feeds on dead organic material, especially plant detritus.
Detritivores play a vital role in nutrient cycling by breaking down dead matter and returning nutrients to the soil. They include earthworms, woodlice, millipedes, and dung beetles. Unlike decomposers (bacteria and fungi), detritivores physically ingest dead material rather than secreting enzymes externally. It collocates with 'organisms,' 'soil,' 'nutrient,' and 'cycle.'
Ejemplos
- Earthworms are among the most important detritivores, breaking down leaf litter and enriching the soil. 蚯蚓是最重要的食碎屑生物之一,分解枯叶并使土壤肥沃。Las lombrices de tierra se encuentran entre los detritívoros más importantes, ya que descomponen la hojarasca y enriquecen el suelo.ミミズは最も重要な腐食動物の一つであり、落ち葉を分解して土壌を豊かにする。지렁이는 가장 중요한 부식동물 중 하나로, 낙엽을 분해하고 토양을 비옥하게 한다.
- Detritivores such as woodlice accelerate the decomposition of fallen leaves on the forest floor. 潮虫等食碎屑生物加速了森林地面落叶的分解。Detritívoros como las cochinillas de la humedad aceleran la descomposición de las hojas caídas en el suelo del bosque.ダンゴムシなどの腐食動物は、森林の地面に積もった落ち葉の分解を促進する。쥐며느리 같은 부식동물은 숲 바닥에 쌓인 낙엽의 분해를 촉진한다.
- The abundance of detritivores in a habitat is a good indicator of soil health and ecosystem vitality. 一个栖息地中食碎屑生物的丰富程度是土壤健康和生态系统活力的良好指标。La abundancia de detritívoros en un hábitat es un buen indicador de la salud del suelo y la vitalidad del ecosistema.ある生息地における腐食動物の豊富さは、土壌の健全さと生態系の活力を示す良い指標である。특정 서식지에서 부식동물의 풍부함은 토양 건강과 생태계 활력을 나타내는 좋은 지표이다.
