Detrital Decomposition

Detrital Decomposition is a biogeochemical process in soil fauna ecology wherein dead organic matter is broken down by heterotrophic organisms, particularly soil fauna and microorganisms, into simpler organic and inorganic compounds, distinguishing it from primary production and mineralization through its focus on the transformation of non-living particulate organic matter within detrital food webs.
