Leaf Decay - GOR-160365-cEcR18

Close up of leaf decay and composition in the outdoor Jefferson Market Garden in New York City.

Decomposition and decay are the yin to the yang of growth, and together they form two halves of the whole that is the closed-loop cycle of natural ecosystems.

Everything dies, and without the processes of decomposition and decay the world would quickly become not only overflowing with the remains of dead plants and animals, but also would experience a decline in new growth.
