Macrofaunal Decomposition

Macrofaunal Decomposition is a soil decomposition process involving the breakdown of organic matter by soil macrofauna, distinguished from other decomposition pathways by the physical fragmentation and translocation activities of invertebrates larger than 2 mm, such as earthworms, termites, and millipedes.
