Which of the following is NOT involved in the process of decomposition/humification?
A) Abundance of electron acceptors
B) litter quality
C) nutrient availability
D) none of these
D) none of these
The rate of decomposition depends on the structural and chemical properties of litter. For eg., the litter of bryophytes are decomposed at a slower rate due to the presence of lignin like complex chemicals.
The presence of electron acceptors governs the pH of the soil, which in turn affects microbial growth and decomposition.
The layers of soil rich in nutrients undergo more better microbial decomposition.

A. Considering both temperature and water, compare the decomposition of plant litter in a rain forest in Brazil with decomposition in a wetland bog in Scotland. Which is faster or slower and why? B. Plant litter decomposes slowly in deserts. However, the desert floor is mostly bare soil, and not covered in litter. Why not? C.
