No matter where the body is buried, the microbial network behind the cadaver’s decomposition remains essentially the same. Researchers from Colorado State University (CSU) and the University of ...
Composting is a natural process that involves the decomposition of organic materials, such as food scraps, yard waste, and other plant-based materials, into nutrient-rich compost. Composting occurs ...
Researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a "top-down" synthetic ...
Composting is the process of turning organic waste, such as kitchen scraps and yard debris, into nutrient-rich fertilizer. This transformation is facilitated by microorganisms, including bacteria and ...
In a breakthrough finding, scientists have identified a group of microbes that are found on dead bodies at specific points during decomposition, enabling the calculation of a time of death much more ...
An isopod, well-adapted to the harsh conditions of arid-lands, crawls on the desert floor in search of plant litter. New study reveals that in arid ecosystems, larger arthropods such as termites and ...
