The rate of decomposition is faster in the ecosystem due to following factors EXCEPT:Detritus rich in lignin and chitin decomposes more slowly (these are resistant structural compounds), so this factor is an exception — it actually slows down decomposition rather than speeding it up, unlike detritus rich in sugars, a warm/moist environment, or the presence of aerobic microbes.
