Verified by ExpertsA
Catabolism (III): This is the process where bacterial and fungal enzymes degrade detritus into simpler inorganic substances.
Mineralization (I): This is the final step of decomposition where humus is further degraded by microbes to release inorganic nutrients.
Humification (II): This is the process that leads to the accumulation of a dark-colored, amorphous substance called humus, which is highly resistant to microbial action.
