Question

How would you expect decomposition rates in peat bogs to change in places where temperature increases as a result of climate change?

O Decomposition rates will increase because higher temperatures lead to faster decomposition.
O Decomposition rates will decrease because higher temperatures lead to slower decomposition.
O Decomposition rates will increase because higher temperatures will reduce or eliminate oxygen in the bog.
O Decomposition rates will decrease because higher temperatures will reduce the litter amount and quality.

Answer 1

Decomposition rates will increase because higher temperatures lead to faster decomposition.

Step-by-step explanation:

• A peat bog is a type of a wetland and is songy, soft and is composed of the decaying moss. This moss forms peat that is used as a source o the fuel. And they are all around the world where the cool and rainy temperature is adequate.

• Hence the decomposition rates would increase when the high temperatures will lead to the faster decomposition of the land will create dryness. As a result of the climate changes taking place the peat blogs are thus not regarded a renewable source of energy.
