vegetation that is decaying
A food source.
On decaying vegetation and cheese.
once-living material that has been broken down by decomposers(bacteria, mushrooms,worms...etc)
Decaying vegetation puts out heat, and this heat incubates the eggs.
Decaying vegetation is actually the opposite of a carbon sink. A carbon sink is something that takes carbon out its natural cycle and stores in for an extended period of time. Vegetation, particularly trees, absorb carbon, and thus they act as stores. However, decaying vegetation releases the carbon back into the air as it decays. Therefore, it is not a sink.
It is call humus because it is the decaying part of plant and animals.
A saprophyte is an organism that feeds on decaying matter by secreting enzymes onto the decaying matter and then absorbing what the enzymes have broken it down into. Most saprophytes are bacteria and fungi.
Ghost towns are made up of broken down or abandoned buildings. These towns were once inhabited, but the population has drastically decreased for various reasons, leaving behind decaying structures.
Depending on species, a mound of decaying vegetation or sand.
The decayed organic material in soil is called detrition. This is the broken down results of leaves and other organic substances.
Compost is the final product of decaying material. It is produced when organic material is piled and turned and then after a period of time it is broken down by bacteria and is then called compost
