Decomposition
Decomposition is the process by which organic substances are broken down into a much simpler form of matter. The process is essential for recycling the finite matter that occupies physical space in the
biome. Bodies of living organisms begin to decompose shortly after
death. Animals, such as worms, also help decompose the organic materials. Organisms that do this are known as decomposers. Although no two organisms decompose in the same way, they all undergo the same sequential stages of decomposition. The science which studies decomposition is generally referred to as
taphonomy from the
Greek word τάφος
taphos, meaning tomb.
