Question

In which environment will decomposition occur the fastest?

Answer 1

Answer:

In general, decomposition is most rapid in well-aerated environments. Most micro-organisms do not function above moisture contents of 30% by volume. At high soil-moisture contents, oxygen becomes limiting and only facultative and obligate anaerobic bacteria can function.
