How long does it take for fecal matter to decompose?

Biology

Scrat [10]4 years ago

<span>A long, long time. Just like a compost heap, when you have moisture and warmth, the process takes less time. Out there in the wilds, you have a great variety of moisture levels and temps. Here in Wyoming, where I am, there are low levels of moisture and long winters, so fecal matter can be dug up years later—with lots of nasty pathogens still active. It would be a different story in, say, the swampy land of South Carolina. In the end, it becomes of great importance where we place our excreta. Dig down 6 to 8 inches at least 200 feet from a water source—and hide the spot well. </span>

Identify the steps of the phosphorus cycle?
miv72 [106K]
Over time, rain and weathering causes rocks to release phosphate ions and other materials.  This inorganic phosphate is then distributed into the soil and water.  plants take up inorganic phosphate from the soil.  the plants may then be consumed by animals. Once in the plants or animal, the phosphate is incorporated into organic materials that break down organic matter to inorganic forms of phosphate.  this process is known as mineralisation.  Phosphate in soil can end up in waterways and eventually oceans.  once there, It can be incorporated into sediments over time.
