Which of the following statements is not true with respect to the role of matter undergoing decomposition?
Correct answer: D. In high concentration, the decomposition product may increase the photosynthesis
- A. Decomposed matter increases soil fertility
- B. It provides a texture which is favorable for plant growth
- C. Decomposition products may be harmful if present in excess
- D. In high concentration, the decomposition product may increase the photosynthesis
Explanation
While the products of decomposition (like CO2 and mineral nutrients) are essential for photosynthesis, the decomposition process itself does not directly increase the rate of photosynthesis. High concentrations of decomposition products can even be harmful.
