Biodestruktionsrate
Biodestruktionsrate refers to the speed at which biological matter is broken down or decomposed by living organisms. This process is fundamental to nutrient cycling in ecosystems, allowing organic material to be recycled and made available for new life. The rate of biodestruction is influenced by a variety of factors, including the type of organic matter, environmental conditions, and the presence and activity of decomposer organisms.
Different types of organic matter decompose at varying rates. For example, soft tissues like leaves and animal
The primary agents of biodestruction are microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi, as well as detritivores like
