从[玛丽,et al ., 1996][1],在第二页图1显示的一个很好的分解植物分解时的碳和氮。(哈达,et al ., 2002)[2]实验数据从植物与C: N比率136:1第十一章。总之,大多数在微生物生物量碳最终还是_2美元。如果进程被允许进行无穷,然后大概,微生物生物量将自己被其他微生物分解,直到所有的公司_2美元的形式。氮矿化,首先进入NH $ _4 ^ + $,然后没有_2 ^ -并最终变成美元没有美元_3 ^ - $由不同分解微生物。通常这些离子是附加到别的东西,他们从土壤中,从而进入土壤。在常规氮循环,最终的离子没有美元_3 ^ -美元将由其他细菌处理大气氮(N _2)美元。如果分解收益无穷,所有的氮会最终将回到大气中。留下少量的其他生物共同的元素,比如phosoprous钙等等。这将是唯一的东西。拉特肖从[1934][3](最古老的纸边注,不参考我看过堆栈交换,但近!),玉米植物的化学成分,考虑植物的所有部分一起,有平均44.9%的氧气,44.0%碳,氢江南电子竞技平台,6.3%和1.5%氮质量; all of these would be expected to leave as as gasses. Of the remainder, representing 3.3% of the mass, probably most of that would stay. Whatever elements are left are most likely to form molecules with oxygen, since it is freely available in the air and likes to react with just about anything. Silicon, potassium and calcium don't seem to have any likely gaseous forms they could take, while sulfur (SO$_2$) and phosphorous (possibly P$_2$H$_4$) might take some more volatile forms. In the end, little will be left of the former plant, just a scattered residue of oxidized minerals, around 3% of the original mass.
