Question

Temperature and soil moisture regulate decomposition through their effects on the.

• A. Chemical composition of detritus
• B. Activity of soil microbes
• C. Carbon dioxide content of detritus
• D. Both A and B

Answer 1

The correct option is C Carbon dioxide content of detritus

The impact of soil dampness and temperature on the disintegration of waste materials, bagasse, coir dust, rice debris, and rice straw, in the soil, were inspected by estimating the decline in weight of and CO2 age from each waste material. The rate of the decline in weight expanded as the temperature climbed, and was most elevated in rice straw pursued by bagasse, rice refuse and coir dust in a specific order, regardless of soil dampness and temperature level.

So, the correct option is 'Carbon dioxide content of detritus'.
