<u>Answer:</u>
<em>Reduction of sulfur compounds and the release of hydrogen sulfide is happening here.</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Sulfur is an important element in the sulfur cycle. Sulfur compounds can be found on earth in various forms. They can be found in mineral rocks and organic matter. It is the <em>work of bacteria to reduce sulfur</em> compounds and convert them to sulfides.
There are different types of bacteria that reduce various sulfur containing compounds. They are <em>sulfate-reducing bacteria, sulfur-reducing bacteria, sulfite reducing bacteria etc.</em> In a swamp there is low oxygen availability and organic matter decays in this condition.
<em>The sulfate reducing bacteria oxidizes the organic matter and releases Hydrogen sulfide.</em>
<span>A fossil leaf that is made only of carbon preserved between two rock layers is called carbon film fossil.
</span>Characteristic of the carbon film fossils is that they are primarily composed of carbon. The fossil leaf has usually lost <span>internal components (cell walls and internal cell structures ).</span>
In ecology, the competitive exclusion principle, sometimes referred to as Gause's law of competitive exclusion or just Gause's law, is a proposition that states that two species competing for the same resource cannot coexist at constant population values, if other ecological factors remain constant.
