Answered by chakri0110

Answer:

Breakdown of dead organic matter into inorganic substances is called as decomposition

Fragmentation means the breakdown of detritus into smaller pieces by the detritivores.

Leaching. The fragmented particles may contain a lot of water-soluble nutrients which are inorganic in nature

Catabolism is the set of metabolic pathways that breaks down molecules into smaller units that are either oxidized to release energy or used in other anabolic reactions.

Humification is a process of formation of humic substances (organic matter that has reached maturity) decomposed from plant remains

Mineralization in soil science is the decomposition (i.e., oxidation) of the chemical compounds in organic matter, by which the nutrients in those compounds are released in soluble inorganic forms that may be available to plants. Mineralization is the opposite of immobilization.
