Question

why do didferent plant tissue decompose at different rates?

a) how does carbon:nitrogen ratio chsbge during the decomposition pfocess

b) in ocean and lakes where dies decomposition take place

ecology

thank you so much!?

*different *process

*change *does

sorry for the typos

Answer 1

Different plant tissues having a varied different functional group so each functional groups takes different type to decompose hence decomposition rates varies in various plant tissues, also there are another factors like climate, substrate quality, and soil type also affect the decomposition rate.

There is two process that are mineralisation means decomposition via oxidation by forming precipitate and immobilisation that is holding the substrate like adsorption phenomenon that both process occur affect the carbon nitrogen ratio.

Ocean having the large diversity than lakes but the dies decomposition takes place at both places only the concentration and rates of decomposiition varies.
