The phrase "active decomposition" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to biology, environmental science, or waste management, referring to the process where organic matter breaks down in a dynamic and ongoing manner.
Example: "The compost pile is undergoing active decomposition, which helps to create nutrient-rich soil for the garden."
Alternatives: "dynamic breakdown" or "ongoing decay".
The decrease in dehydrogenase activity toward 90 days indicates the absence of active decomposition and confirmed that the compost was mature.
The presence of this molecule in settled blood gives skin the marbled, greenish-black appearance characteristic of a body undergoing active decomposition.
This showed high microbial colonization and active decomposition of substrate in the first 2 months of the composting process.
Existing forensic taphonomic methods lack specificity in estimating the postmortem interval (PMI) in the period following active decomposition.
Among the six formulations, Manek exhibited a 90.7%% weight loss in the active decomposition band confirming high (36.2 %) lipid content (Table 2).
Temperature difference and its derivative are used in synthetic inversions to estimate oil shale grade and parameters of active decomposition reactions with an error below 1%.
Solid TEAN produced IR-active decomposition species including H2O, NO, CO2, CO, N2O, and NO2.
The head of mice were scored using the following key: Fresh: no discoloration (1 point); Active Decay (early decomposition): Discoloration (2 points), Purging of decomposition fluids out of eyes, nose, or mouth (3 points), Bloating of neck and/or face (4 points); Advanced Decay: Sagging of flesh (5 points), Sinking of flesh (6 points), Caving in of flesh (7 points), Mummification (8 points).
As this decomposer community recycles nutrients, the corpse progresses through several forensically recognized stages of decomposition, including Fresh (before decomposition begins), Active Decay, which includes Bloating and Rupture, and Advanced Decay (Carter et al., 2007; Parkinson et al., 2009).
In the present study adults were observed in fresh, bloat and active decay stage of decomposition.
These species occurred during active decay stage of decomposition while Musca domestica were found earlier in bloated stage or late during advanced decay and skeletal stages.
