How do you turn a number into a growth or decay percentage?
One number cannot be turned into a growth or decay percentage - unless it is already a growth or decay percentage. You need three items of information: a level (either before or after the change), the value or relative value of change and a time interval over which the change occurs.

I believe relative decay is the decay over time.
Why do leaves rot?
Trees rot due to fungi. They may be attacked by insects or damaged by humans. The areas that are attacked or damaged may be contacted by small fungi that multiply and cause the tree to rot.
