Because of the warmer tempatures decay is mostly a chemical reaction and all chemical reactions are accellerated by warmer temps

Why do leaves decay more quickly in summer than in winter?
the leaf decay is caused due to the wilting of leaf i.e caused by excessive loss of water. the rate of wilting increases due to increase in temperature as high temperature causes excessive loss of water. in summers the heat intensity increases causing water loss while in winters heat is less comparatively.
Why do the leave decay more in the winter than the summer?
Because of the warmer tempatures decay is mostly a chemical reaction and all chemical reactions are accellerated by warmer temps
What is the mnemonic for remembering the seasons in order?
In order to remember the order of the seasons it is best to understand why we have seasons and when they occur. Spring Equinox 21st March: Summer Solstice 21st June Autumn Equinox 21-23rd September Winter Solstice 21st December Therefore the best mnemonics practice would be to associate a season to what occurs in nature and the cycle of renewal. Spring - Birth: Renewal of plants Summer - Life: Plants are fully bloomed (photosynthesis) Autumn - Decay: Leaves start to decay Winter - Death: Less sun means no leaves If you are teaching children a good way is to also use the clock face as a metaphor using their arms. Spring - 9PM Summer - 12PM Autumn - 3PM Winter - 6PM
Do organisms decay quickly in a desert?
Most organisms that die are quickly devoured by scavengers in the desert and do not have the opportunity to decay.
What would happen to trees if their leaves did not fall off before winter?
They would use up much more energy to keep the leaves sustained and would start to die, also the soil wouldn't get the nutrients from the annual decay of leaves and the soil quality would drop.
Why do leaves decay quicker in summer?
The temperature is higher, meaning that the decomposers can decay at faster rates. Their enzymes can work at a faster rate to decompose the detritus. To low a temp. and the rate of enzymes will slow down too much but too hot and the decomposers will be killed.
What materials can decay easily?
Materials that can decay easily include organic matter such as food waste, paper, wood, and leaves. These materials break down quickly due to the presence of microorganisms that help in the decomposition process. Factors such as moisture, temperature, and oxygen levels can also affect the rate of decay for these materials.
Do fallen leaves decay very slowly in the rainforest?
Fallen leaves would decay very rapidly in the rainforest because of its favourable temperature and abundance of microorganisms. In contrast, fallen leaves would decay very slowly in regions that are cold and sparsely populated by even bacteria such as the tundra.
Do leaves rot?
Leaves rot due to decomposition. It is the natural process of a life cycle and the decay of the leaves is carried out by bacteria and fungi.
What are the characteristic of rubber tire or other things that not decay?
Things that don't decay (or that don't decay quickly) are difficult to digest, for bacteria.
Why do grass cuttings decay faster in summer than in winter?
a plant needs photosynthesis to grow.and to do the photosynthesis process it needs sunlight and in winter there is not much sunlight..this is how plants get food ..i think that's the reason..hope this helped.. :) Close, but not close enough. Below is a more "scientific" answer. The temperature during the summer is warmer, and therefore much more suitable for the grass to grow than during the winter. During the winter, temperatures drop to 32 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the freezing point of water, or even lower than that. With the water in the blades of grass frozen, the grass cannot get the nutrients it requires to thrive, and thus dies.
Is leaves decay physical change or chemical change?
chemical change
