Necrobiology is the scientific study of the processes and phenomena associated with death and decomposition. It examines how organisms break down after death, including the roles of bacteria, fungi, and other decomposers in recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem. This field helps us understand the natural cycle of life and death. Researchers in necrobiology also explore the effects of environmental factors on decomposition, such as temperature, moisture, and the presence of scavengers. By studying these processes, scientists can gain insights into forensic science, archaeology, and even the evolution of life on Earth.
