Name the different steps involved in the process of decomposition of Detritus.

​

Answer 1

Answer:

The different steps involved in the process of decomposition of detritus are as follows :

(i) Fragmentation (ii) Leaching (iii) Catabolism (iv) Humification (v) Mineralization Fragmentation : Breakdown of detritus into smaller particles. e.g., earthworm.

Leaching : Water soluble inorganic nutrients go down into the soil horizon and get precipitated as unavailable salts.

Catabolism : Bacterial and fungal enzymes degrade detritus into simpler inorganic substances.

Humification : It leads to the accumulation of a dark coloured amorphous substance called humus that is highly resistant to microbial action and undergoes decomposition at an extremely slow rate.

Mineralisation : The humus is further degraded by some microbes and release inorganic substances by this process.
