Detailed Solution
Decomposition is largely an oxygen-requiring process. In a particular climatic condition, decomposition rate is slower if detritus is rich in lignin and chitin, and quicker, if detritus is rich in nitrogen and water-soluble substances like sugars. Warm and moist environment favour decomposition whereas low temperature and anaerobiosis inhibit decomposition.
