Question #2
The process by which water-soluble nutrients are washed out of decomposing organic matter into the soil is called:
A. Catabolism
B. Fragmentation
C. Leaching
D. Humification

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Decomposition involves several steps. Leaching is the process where water-soluble inorganic nutrients (like nitrates, phosphates) are washed out of the decomposing organic matter (detritus) and move deep into the soil profile, where they may become unavailable to plants. Fragmentation is the breakdown of detritus by detritivores (like earthworms).
