Bogs have acidic and low-oxygen environments, which slows down the decay process by inhibiting bacteria and fungi that typically break down organic matter. This low rate of decomposition, coupled with the cold temperatures and preservative properties of the bog water, can lead to excellent preservation of bodies found in bogs.
What else can I help you with?
What will happen if the dead organism do not decay?
If a dead organism does not decay, it may become mummified or fossilized depending on the conditions it is in. In cases where decay does not occur, the dead organism may stick around for an extended period, potentially impacting the ecosystem by not releasing nutrients back into the environment.
What is the organism that causes the decay of dead plant and animal matter?
The term for an organism that causes decay is decomposers, such as bacteria and fungi. they chemically break down organic matter for food. the decay caused by the decomposers is part of a process that produces detritus, small pieces of dead and decaying plant/animal remains.
How do nonphotosynthetic organisms obtain the carbon molecules necessary for life?
From dead and decay matter.
How do microorganisms aid in the decay in an ecosystem?
thats because they need food so they feed on dead animals...
Did the decay cycle involves making new matter to replace dead plants and animals. true or false?
its true(:
What is responsible the decay of dead organisms?
Bacteria and other small organisms, such as insects are responsible for the decay of dead organisms.
What is responsible for decay of dead organisms?
Bacteria and other small organisms, such as insects are responsible for the decay of dead organisms.
Can you give me a sentence for the word decay?
The dead deer started to decay.
Why do peat bogs decompose slowly?
Type of wetland where decomposition is slowed down and dead plant matter accumulates as peat. Bogs develop under conditions of low temperature, high acidity, low nutrient supply, stagnant water, and oxygen deficiency. Typical bog plants are sphagnum moss, rushes, and cotton grass; insectivorous plants such as sundews and bladderworts are common in bogs (insect prey make up for the lack of nutrients). Low temperatures - slow decay High Acidity - slow decay, reduces vectors, and kills bacteria Low nutrient supply, stagnant water, and oxygen deficiency - reduce predators, scavengers, and vectors.
Why do fish turn in there back when there dead?
They don't "all" do that. The position (angle) a dead fish floats in depends upon the state of the decay in the dead fish and exactly where the main decay is.
What causes dead things to decay?
decomposors
A kind of soil found in bogs?
Peat, which usually contains dead mosses and other plant material.
What is the word for dead things rot?
Decay is a word for dead things/rot.

Where is it possible to visit some bogs?
A bog is a mire that accumulates peat, which is the deposit of dead plant matter. Bogs can be found all over the world and are one of the four types of wetlands. They are also known as quagmires.
Do all living things decay when dead?
Yes
What bogs are easiest to exploit raised bogs or blanket bogs?
Of course blanket -,-
