Question
The process of mineralization
releases:Solution
Mineralization is the final step in the decomposition process, where microorganisms break down organic matter in detritus into inorganic nutrients like nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and sulfur (S), making them available for plant uptake. Steps in Decomposition: (i) Fragmentation – Detritivores break detritus into smaller particles. (ii) Leaching – Water dissolves soluble organic and inorganic nutrients. (iii) Catabolism – Enzymatic breakdown of complex organic compounds. (iv) Humification – Formation of humus (partially decomposed organic matter). (v) Mineralization – Conversion of organic matter into inorganic nutrients by decomposers like bacteria and fungi.
