Detailed explanation-1: -Decomposition is a complex process. Organic matter is broken down into carbon dioxide and the mineral forms of nutrients like nitrogen. It is also converted into fungi and bacteria through these organisms feeding on the organic material and reproducing.

Detailed explanation-2: -The humus is further degraded by some microbes and release of inorganic nutrients occurs by the process known as mineralisation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mineralization: The humus is further degraded by some microbes and the release of inorganic nutrients occurs by the process known as mineralization.

Detailed explanation-4: -Decomposition is a biological process that includes the physical breakdown and biochemical transformation of complex organic molecules of dead material into simpler organic and inorganic molecules (Juma, 1998).
