  1. decomposition - they break down dead organic matter preventing it from building up

    nutrient cycling - different bacteria use carbon, sulfur, iron, nitrogen, etc and they take it from one form and convert it to another... like nitrogen fixing in legumes

    food source - they're one of the bottom links on the food chain
