42.Decomposition rate is slower if Detritus is Rich in: A. Lignin and Chitin B. Nitrogen and sugars C. Nitrogen and Chitin D. Sugars and lignin
Option A Decomposition is the process of breaking down organic matter into simple inorganic matter. Under same environmental conditions, the rate of decomposition various due to change in composition of detritus. If detritus is rich in lignin and chitin, the decomposition rate is slow. If detritus is rich in nitrogen, the decomposition rate is relatively high.
