Abstract
A method to determine the effect of relative humidity and substrate moisture content on rates of decomposition of Eucalyptus leaf litter is described. Significant loss of dry weight occurred at relative humidity and moisture content values of 32 and 5% respectively which are values much lower than those at which microbial activity in other systems has been reported. It is likely, however, that biological decomposition is not significant until relative humidity and moisture content values are above 75 and 13% respectively.
