Hi, i want to know further information about this topic.

Climate change speeds up the rate of soil decomposition, which releases more carbon. Basically, this is climate change powering itself. However this alone is not enough carbon emissions to keep up climate change up, it is mainly human pollution.

I agree with your answer, most of climate change is from human carbon footprint.  According to the source “EPA United States Environmental Protection Agency,” It states the contributors of carbon footprint are 28% from  transportation, 25% electrical power, 23% from industry, agriculture, commercial and residential.  The following has to do with us human, we work in the industry, use electricity, live in homes,  and we use gas. We Use it when we go to school, driving  to get Starbucks.  Which is why we are the most contributors to carbon. And with the huge amount of carbon that's produced, that adds to  the climate change. With climate change, there's many uprising hurricanes, storms, droughts, heat waves, melting glaciers, and warming oceans which affects the lives of wild animals. There are many more things that climate changes adds to, but those are just a few things that I have listed. Climate change is something we have to take into account, because it causes extreme damage to our earth.

Basically, climate change is BAD.

Hi there @31898, climate change affects decomposition in a number of ways, including increased temperature as this speeds up the rate of decomposition.  This is because warmer temperatures increase the activity of the microbes and other organisms that break down organic matter.  Moisture is also important for decomposition.  Too much moisture can slow down decomposition, while too little moisture can stop it altogether.  Climate change is causing changes in precipitation patterns around the world, which could lead to drier or wetter conditions in some areas.  This could have a significant impact on decomposition rates.  Increased acidity is another factor that slows down decomposition.  Climate change is causing the oceans to become more acidic, which could have a negative impact on marine ecosystems and the decomposition of organic matter in the ocean.  Nutrient availability also affects decomposition.  Climate change is causing changes in the availability of nutrients in some ecosystems.  This could lead to changes in decomposition rates, as well as the types of organisms that are able to decompose organic matter.

Overall, climate change has a very complex impact on decomposition.  The severity of the impact will vary depending on the specific climate conditions and the type(s) of ecosystem(s) involved.  However, it is clear that climate change has a significant impact on the decomposition process, which could have implications for carbon cycling and other ecosystem functions.

Research on climate change and decomposition is still ongoing as there is still much that we don't know.  However, the evidence suggests that climate change is having a significant impact on decomposition and that this impact is likely to become more pronounced in the future. Good question and hope this helps

@31898, There are many different components on how climate change can affect decomposition. Firstly the temperature has a huge impact on the decomposition. In warmer conditions it's easier for things like bacteria to decompose faster. Different weathers can also slow down the process of decomposition. In the cold the moisture can get bad and make the process of decomposition slower. Natural disasters such as floods, storms, and hurricanes can also affect decomposition because hurt the ecosystem therefore affecting the decomposition process. Carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases also have an affect on the decomposition. A increased or higher temperature can help the decomposition then in can release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This can also have an impact on the decomposition.

TylerWilson: I agree with the idea that carbon emissions is not the only thing that keeps up the climate change, but it can be human pollution too that is keeping the climate change up.

I agree that most climate change comes from humans' Carbon Footprint, how they travel to work or school, and how much they go on vacations or business trips all of this affects climate change.
