The 71 pages that link to Decomposition, each with the reason it gives.

• Freshwater food webRelated: Decomposition returns nutrients from dead organisms to freshwater food-web producers.

• MucoralesRelated: Many Mucorales species recycle nutrients by growing on decaying material.

• PondRelated: Microbes consuming dead pond plants and algae can use up dissolved oxygen.

• Temperate forestRelated: Decomposition recycles the leaf litter that accumulates beneath temperate forest canopies.

• Augusto dos AnjosRelated: The breakdown of bodies supplies some of his most persistent images of decay.

• Oxygen cycleRelated: Decomposition commonly consumes oxygen as microbes break down organic material.

• Rove beetleRelated: Many rove beetles prey on or live among organisms involved in decay.

• SpringtailRelated: By grazing on microbes and fragmenting detritus, springtails influence nutrient cycling.

• TopsoilRelated: Decomposition returns nutrients and organic compounds to the topsoil.

• Archispirostreptus gigasRelated: Its feeding and waste contribute to the processing of dead plant material.

• CalliphoridaeRelated: It produces the odors and nutrients that attract many calliphorids.

• JulidaRelated: Julids fragment leaf litter, making it more available to decomposers.

• Plant litterRelated: Litter decomposition transforms dead plant material and makes its nutrients available again.

• Sea lettuceRelated: When stranded sea lettuce decays, decomposition drives oxygen loss and foul odors.

• CadaverRelated: Decomposition begins after death and limits the time available for many forms of study.
