Do Plants Decay. Dead leaves fall from trees and herbaceous plants collapse to the ground after they have produced seeds. Moisture and oxygen availability significantly shape the decomposition. The litter layer can be quite substantial in volume. a mathematical model reveals commonality within the diversity of leaf decay. In the springtime, leaves soak up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, converting the gas into organic carbon compounds. The primary decomposers of most dead plant material are fungi. Dead plant materials such as leaf litter and wood, animal carcasses, and. These form a layer of litter on the soil surface. The colorful leaves piling up in your backyard this fall can be thought of as natural stores of carbon. dead organisms are broken down into smaller pieces by the process of decay. Is the speed at which dead matter is broken down by. role of moisture and oxygen. Organisms such as earthworms are involved in this process. the rate can be estimated by measuring changes in ph, (for example in milk), change in mass (decaying fruit and vegetables) or. The rate can be estimated by measuring changes in ph,.
