Key differences, features, and comparative analysis of Factor and SLOWS decomposition.
| Factor | SLOWS decomposition | SPEEDS UP decomposition |
|---|---|---|
| Chemical composition of detritus | Rich in LIGNIN and CHITIN | Rich in NITROGEN and water-soluble substances like SUGARS |
| Climate | Low temperature and anaerobiosis → inhibit decomposition → BUILD-UP of organic materials | Warm and moist environment |
