Since those local factors likely are the primary drivers of decomposition rates, Bradford said, they should be better documented and integrated into climate models.
Our results suggest that diameter-associated variations in substrate quality could be an important driver of root decomposition and nutrient dynamics.
Litter decomposition is a major driver of nutrient availability and carbon (C) cycling in forest ecosystems, and may be susceptible to perturbation by exogenous nutrient inputs from anthropogenic activity.
The evocation, of course, is of decomposition.
Officers were immediately aware of a smell of decomposition.
(In olive oil, free acidity is an indicator of decomposition).
There was no sign of decomposition or disfigurement.
Wood decomposition was assessed by two complementary approaches: calculation of community wood decomposition rates and measurement of decomposition rates of standardized wood samples.
Another expected product of decomposition of H2S is hydrogen.
The process of decomposition would be slowed down.
