The mass remains the same, but it begins to change to other things- all with the same mass. At first, the part of the mass that is water will evaporate to the air. Then the part that is mainly carbon is eaten by insects and fungi. Eventually, all of the mass has been changed to rotted wood, insect droppings, carbon dioxide.
