-[DE-COMPOSITION]-[STAGE 6]

.

*DEATH STAGE #6*

.

-[de-composition] is the process by which ‘organic substances’ are broken down into a more simple [organic matter]-

.

(the process is a part of the ‘nutrient cycle’ a is essential for recycling the finite matter that occupies physical space in the ‘biosphere’)

(bodies of ‘living organisms’ begin to decompose shortly after death)

(animals (such as ‘worms’) also help de-compose the ‘organic materials’)

(‘organisms’ that do this are known as ‘de-composers’)

(although no 2 organisms decompose in the same way, they all undergo the same sequential stages of ‘de-composition’)

(the science which studies de-composition is generally referred to as taphonomy from the greek word taphos, meaning ‘tomb’)

(‘we’ (as ‘humans’) can differentiate abiotic from biotic decomposition (‘bio-degradation’))

(the former means “degradation of a substance by ‘chemical’ or ‘physical’ processes” (eg ‘hydrolysis’))

(the latter means “the ‘metabolic breakdown’ of ‘materials’ into ‘simpler components’ by ‘living organisms'” (typically by ‘micro-organisms’))
