Whyi is good air flow necessary for the decomposition of the organic matter?
Because the organisms that live on the organic matter (saprophytic organisms-that means organisms that live on dead organic matter) need oxygen to respire, because they need oxygen for energy to break down the O.M :) Hope I helped
