1. The factors influencing the rate of decomposition are:

  • Chemical nature of detritus
  • Climatic condition (temperature and soil moistures)

2. Detritus which is rich in N2 and water soluble substances like sugar decompose quickly than detritus containing lignin and chitin.

Warm and moist environment favour decomposition whereas low temperature and anaerobic condition inhibit decomposition.
