Amir carried out an experiment into rates of decay. He used two pots of dead leaves. He added several woodlice to pot 1 and nothing to pot 2. In which of the pots would you expect the leaves to decay fastest?

Answer:

Pot 1 would likely have faster decay rate as the woodlice would increase the rate of decomposition by breaking down the leaves and accelerating the process of decay.
