Two broad categories of microorganisms consume and decompose organic matter: those that need air (aerobic) and those that don’t (anaerobic). need nitrogen to burn excess carbon and produce CO2. A strong influence of temperature, depth, the degree of peat decomposition, pH, and nitrate content on respiration activity was found. Anaerobic digestion is the complex process by which organic matter is decomposed by anaerobic bacteria. The bioassays were set up with fragments of U. breviscapa and incubated with lagoon water at distinct temperatures (15.3, 20.8, 25.7 and 30.3°C). Our results indicate that the loss of particular species can be as important a driver of decomposition as substantial temperature change, but also that predicting the relative consequences of species loss and other forms of environmental change on decomposition requires knowledge of assemblages and their constituent species' ecology and ecophysiology.
