Q2.21. Which of the following statements about decomposition rates is well supported by the data presented in this section? Decomposition rates are affected by temperature but not precipitation. Decomposition rates are affected by climate but not local environmental conditions. Warmer temperatures slow down chemical reactions and thus also decomposition rates. • Decomposition in streams is typically faster than in nearby forest soils. Submit
