nedbrytningsmekanismer
Nedbrytningsmekanismer, or degradation mechanisms, refer to the processes by which substances break down over time. This can apply to a wide range of materials, from organic matter in ecosystems to synthetic polymers in manufactured goods. In the context of the environment, nedbrytningsmekanismer are crucial for nutrient cycling and the removal of waste.
Biological degradation is a primary mechanism, driven by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. These organisms
Chemical degradation involves reactions that alter the chemical structure of a substance without the direct involvement
Physical degradation involves the breakdown of materials through mechanical or environmental forces. Abrasion, erosion, and weathering
