Which one of the following processes during
decomposition is correctly described?
(a) Catabolism – Last step in the decomposition
under fully anaerobic condition
(b) Leaching – Water soluble inorganic nutrients
rise to the top layers of soil
(c) Fragmentation – Carried out by organisms such
as earthworm
(d) Humification – Leads to the accumulation
of a dark coloured substance humus which
undergoes microbial action at a very fast rate.
