Decay is what happens when dead animals and plants break down. The key factors involved in decay are: Temperature, Amount of oxygen, Amount of water and the presence of microorganisms. Microorganisms are important in decay. For example, they are used to break down human waste (sewage) and plant waste (compost). Decay recycles important nutrients for plant growth.
