परिभाषा
उत्तर
- Decomposition is the process of breaking down complex organic matter into inorganic substances like carbon dioxide, water, and nutrients by decomposers.
- Raw materials for decomposition are dead remains of plants and animals, faecal matter, and detritus.
- This process requires oxygen. Temperature and soil moisture are essential factors that indirectly help soil microbes for decomposition.
- Warm and moist environments favour decomposition, whereas low temperatures and anaerobic conditions inhibit the process.
