The decomposition of detritus is due to activities of micro organisms. The rate of growth of microbes is affected by temperature. The pH of subtratum affects the composition of microbes (acidophiles / basophiles) which degrade the dead organic matter. If oxygen is present, aerobic degradation occursRead more
The decomposition of detritus is due to activities of micro organisms. The rate of growth of microbes is affected by temperature. The pH of subtratum affects the composition of microbes (acidophiles / basophiles) which degrade the dead organic matter. If oxygen is present, aerobic degradation occurs. In the absence of oxygen anaerobiosis sets in and there will be incomplete degradation. Also, the degradation is due to activity of exo enzymes ecreted by the microbes and the activity of enzyme is affected by factors such as emperature etc.
An ecosystem is a functional unit with biotic and abiotic factors nteracting with one another resulting in a physical structure. Absence of any component will make an ecosystem incomplete as it will hinder the functioning of the ecosystem. Exampler of such an ecosystem can be a fish tank or deep aphRead more
An ecosystem is a functional unit with biotic and abiotic factors nteracting with one another resulting in a physical structure. Absence of any component will make an ecosystem incomplete as it will hinder the functioning of the ecosystem. Exampler of such an ecosystem can be a fish tank or deep aphotic zone of the oceans where producers are absent.
Primary productivity varies from ecosystem to ecosystem because it depends on the plant species inhabiting the area and their photosynthetic activity. it also depends on various environmental factors.
