A food source.

What is from decaying matter?
once-living material that has been broken down by decomposers(bacteria, mushrooms,worms...etc)
Why do alligators make their nests out of rotting vegetation?
Decaying vegetation puts out heat, and this heat incubates the eggs.
Is decaying vegetation a carbon sink?
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.
What is decaying plant material called?
It is call humus because it is the decaying part of plant and animals.
What is a saprophyte-?
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.
What type of towns are made up from broken down buildings?
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.
What do a nest look like for a crocodile?
Depending on species, a mound of decaying vegetation or sand.
What decaying organic material in soil is called?
The decayed organic material in soil is called detrition. This is the broken down results of leaves and other organic substances.
How does decaying vegetation cause acid rain?
Decaying vegetation contributes to acid rain primarily through the release of organic acids and gases during decomposition. Microbial activity breaks down plant material, producing carbon dioxide, which can combine with water to form carbonic acid. Additionally, the release of ammonia and other nitrogen compounds from decaying matter can lead to the formation of nitric acid when they react with atmospheric oxygen and water. These acids can then be carried by rain, resulting in acid rain.
