Partial decomposition occurs in oxygen-deficient areas due to anaerobic respiration, producing organic acids that inhibit saprotrophic decomposition.
Partial decomposition occurs in environments lacking oxygen, leading to anaerobic respiration and the production of organic acids that inhibit decomposition by saprotrophs.
