A polymer coating may be useful.
Slow Decay was created in 2007.
It will slow down an organism's decay in freezing temperatures.
It is a form of preserving food.
Factors that can speed up decay include higher temperatures, increased moisture, and presence of oxygen. Factors that can slow down decay include lower temperatures, lack of moisture, and absence of oxygen.
Cynical answer is poorly - it just lies around until it washes downslope. And decay is not "impossible", its just slow ... very slow.
A Bog.
A type of standing water habitat in which the soil is acidic and decay is slow is called a bog. Bogs are characterized by their water-saturated, oxygen-poor conditions, which lead to slow decomposition and the accumulation of organic matter over time.
No, radioactive decay isn't affected by anything - temperature or pressure because it isn't a chemical or physical reaction.
temperature; warmth speeds it up, cold slows it down. moisture; if it is moist it will decay quicker oxygen; if there is a good oxygen flow it should decay quicker. these all speed up decay because the bacteria and fungi that cause decay need these conditions to thrive and multiply
cold temperatures slow decay
The rate of weathering if a granite monument is placed outside for 200 years in a cool dry climate would be slow.
This could have many names such as 'decay', 'radioactive decay', or 'radiation.
