Most the life would be effected by this. Plants would start to die causing animals to also die from lack of plants causing the hole Ecosystem to collapse

Answer:

Without decomposers and detrivores it would take much longer for dead plants and animals to be broken down and nutrients would be recycled into the environment much more slowly.
