The process involves measuring the rate of decomposition of amino acids in the shells.
The heating was on, increasing the rate of decomposition, which significantly lessened the chances of retrieving evidence from the corpse.
The coffin is to contain a heating element that will speed or reduce the body's rate of decomposition.
The rate of decomposition of plant material depends on the kind of crop, its stage of growth, and soil temperature and moisture.
Because the rate of decomposition depends on heat, light and humidity, the effect of these environmental factors will depend on the location of the bodies and tissue in the rubble.
The rate of decomposition in taiga soils does not keep pace with the rate of production, causing the progressive accumulation of organic matter.
Although the rate of plant growth in cold regions is very slow, the rate of decomposition of organic matter is also very slow.
The modeling correctly reproduces the experimental rate of decomposition of hydrazine and also the product distribution.
The effects have been evaluated as changes in the temperature, reaction heat, and rate of decomposition.
But now we realize that waterlogging is more effective than had been assumed in slowing the rate of decomposition, regardless of temperature". If Gumbricht is proved right, it will mean that almost half the peatland carbon is in the tropics.
Slash-and-burn agricultural practices increased the overall rate of decomposition despite a decrease in shredder species richness (but not shredder abundance) due to increased microbial decomposition.
