How does temperature affect decomposition?
Temperature plays a huge role on the speed an item decomposes. The higher the temperature in an area, the faster an object in that area will decompose. Heat makes objects decompose more rapidly than they would if they were in a cooler temperature. In the decomposition process, bacteria will eat compost, which will then cause it to slowly disintegrate. When the atmosphere is cooler, the air will kill the bacteria, which would then slow down the process of decomposition. This happens because when the bacteria is weaker, the decomposition of the object will not happen as fast.
