Distinguish between production and decomposition.
Name the type of detritus that decomposes faster. List any two factors that enhance the rate of decomposition.
Find out the INCORRECT statement
What is common to earthworm, mushroom, soil mites and dung beetle in an ecosystem?
How do you distinguish between humification and mineralisation?
Observe the contents 1, 2, 3 and 4 of soil samples A, B and C shown in the graph. If the temperature and soil moisture of all soil samples are identical, which soil sample (s) will show faster decomposition?

1 indicates lignin content, 2 indicates chitin, 3 indicates nitrogen content, and 4 indicates sugar content
Identify the correct statements:
- Detrivores perform fragmentation.
- The humus is further degraded by some microbes during mineralization.
- Water soluble inorganic nutrients go down into the soil and get precipitated by a process called leaching.
- The detritus food chain begins with living organisms.
- Earthworms break down detritus into smaller particles by a process called catabolism.
