Prednisone intake for extended periods of time is associated with weight gain. The causes of this weight gain include: Increase in fluid accumulation and total plasma volume as a result of changes in the serum concentration of sodium ions.
Decomposition occurs most rapidly during the thermophilic stage of composting (40-60Â°C), which lasts for several weeks or months depending on the size of the system and the composition of the ingredients. This stage also is important for destroying thermosensitive pathogens, fly larvae, and weed seeds.
Decomposition is the natural process of dead animal or plant tissue being rotted or broken down. This process is carried out by invertebrates, fungi and bacteria. The result of decomposition is that the building blocks required for life can be recycled. Left: The body of a dead rabbit after several weeks of decomposition. Most of the flesh has been eaten by beetles, beetle larvae, fly maggots, carnivorous slugs and bacteria. The outline of the skeleton is starting to appear. All living organisms on earth will eventually die.
