Decomposition will occur the fastest in Amazon rainforest.
What is decomposition?
- Decomposition is the process of breakdown of dead organic matter with the help of microorganisms like bacteria and fungi.
- Decomposition is necessary for the recycling of elements back into the ecosystem.
- The organisms resulting in decomposition are termed as decomposers. These require appropriate environmental conditions for decomposing.
- At low temperature such as in Antarctica, decomposers are less active thus reducing the rate of decomposition.
- Decomposers cannot survive in little or no water conditions such as in the Sahara desert. Decomposition increases with the increase in water availability.
- Decomposers also require oxygen to survive which is not available in deeper parts of the Arctic ocean. Therefore decomposition does not occur in low oxygen environment.
- With optimum water, temperature and oxygen available, rate of decomposition is also high in the Amazon rainforests.
