Detailed explanation-1: -Some of the most frequently observed variables are temperature, moisture, insect activity, and sun or shade exposure. Coverings can impact the decomposition process, and are found frequently in forensic cases.
Detailed explanation-2: -In this process, temperature plays an important role and has a great influence. If the temperature is increased, the process is smoothly carried out and if the temperature is low, the process of decomposition is slow.
Detailed explanation-3: -Availability of nutrients from other soil pools also enhances decomposition rates if nutrient concentrations are low in litter. Soil temperature and moisture content are very important factors affecting decomposition rates.
Detailed explanation-4: -Several of the most frequent factors affecting PMI estimates such as temperature, burial depth and access of the body to insects are fully reviewed. On account of their activity and world wide distribution, Diptera are the insects of greatest forensic interest.
