Question 27

A researcher monitors the rate of decomposition of fallen spruce needles on a forest floor. As spring progresses, the soil temperature increases from $∘C4\ ^\circ\text{C}$ to $∘C16\ ^\circ\text{C}$ .

Explain how this increase in temperature affects the rate of decomposition of the spruce needles.
