The rate at which leaf litter decomposes depends on many factors, including the compounds present in the litter. Which of the following compound concentrations would make leaf litter decompose at the slowest rate? O low levels of lignin O high levels of cellulose O high levels of lignin high levels of hemicellulose high levels of both cellulose and hemicellulose
