The figure below shows the percentage of organic matter in a soil as a function of precipitation and temperature. Describe in 4 sentences (about 100 words) why low temperature and high precipitation will lead to an accumulation of organic matter in soils. Include the following terms in your sentences: Respiration, plant and microbial growth, rate, soil moisture. 0°C 32°F 15 10 10°C 50°F 20°C 68°F 10 250 Average Annual Precipitation 20 500 30 in. 750 mm Percent Organic Matter 5 Average Annual Temperature
