Keywords:
Decompose,
Disintegrated,
Debris,
Dead,
Fragments
Hence: Any fragments separated from the body to which they belonged; any product of disintegration.
In hydrologic terms, (1) the heavier mineral debris moved by natural watercourses, usually in bed-load form. (2) the sand, grit, and other coarse material removed by differential sedimentation in a relatively short period of detention.
Forestry Operations & Water Quality] Small pieces of dead and decomposing plants and animals. Detached and broken-down organic fragments of structure. Small organic particles such as leaves and twigs. Diameter at Breast Height [ Terms Commonly used in Management Plans] [ Forest Stewardship] The diameter of a tree measured in inches at breast height (4.5 feet above the ground).
Dead organic matter, both plant and animal.
A general term covering all unconsolidated sediments.
a loose collection of decaying or waste material. Endothermic: "warm blooded," or an organism that absorbs heat.
Disintegrated or broken up mineral or organic material in a water body.
Dead organic matter, mostly from plants and usually in particulate form, including dissolved organic matter, but not inorganic matter and various organisms often associated with it.
decomposed or partly decomposed plant and animal matter
debris, rubbish, waste
a major food-source in a variety of ecosystems, consisting of organic remains of plants and animals, often heavily colonised by bacteria.
dead and decaying plant and animal matter and associated decomposing organisms
an accumulation of dead plant and animal tissue and fine sediment.
Detritus - A collective term for loose rock and mineral material that is worn off or removed directly by mechanical means, as by disintegration or abrasion.
Organic matter produced by the decay of organic products. Many species feed primarily on detritus, such as shrimp species, bottom-dwelling worms, most fly species, and some bottom-dwelling fish species.
Accumulated silt and organic debris on the bed of a river or still water
tiny fragments of decomposing plant/animal matter.
Decaying material from once living plants and animals.
(3) a non-dissolved product of the disintigration or wearing away of organic or inorganic matter.
Material formed by mechanical breakage or abrasion of parent rocks. Detrital is the descriptive term.
The dead organic matter, such as fallen leaves, twigs, and other plant and animal wastes, that exists in any ecosystem.
particulate floating, suspended or settled organic material.
Minerals or rock fragments that eroded and end up in a different region from natural causes, such as downstream currents.
1.) A general term for loose rock fragments produced by mechanical weathering. Also used in reference to other small particles of inorganic or organic matter. 2) Organic matter produced by the decay or disintegration of a substance or tissue (Morris 1992).
Decomposed plant and animal matter that has been worked to sediment size through the action of water and sand.
particulate matter produced by or remaining after the wearing away or disintegration of a substance or tissue; scales, crusts, or loosened skin
Organic debris from decomposing plants and animals.
Organic waste matter that collects on the bottom of fish tanks.
Loose rock and mineral material produced by mechanical disintegration and removed from its place of origin by wind, water, gravity, or ice; also, find particles of organic matter, such as plant debris.
Organic compounds, usually collecting at the bottom of the aquarium.
Grayish piles of organic compounds that accumulate in the aquarium. Commonly will contain fish wastes, fragments of rock, leftover food, among other things. Usually detritus will accumulate in low water flow areas, sumps, etc.
fresh to partly decomposed plant or animal material.
loose material (such as rock fragments or organic particles) that results directly from disintegration Testing for Water Quality
debris such as dead organisms, fecal pellets, and mucus products from plankton
Waste by-products from tool manufacture. Most frequently applied to chips and fragments resulting from stone flaking.
Fragments of plant or animal remains.
remains of dead, decaying organisms mixed with inorganic material.
Particles from dead, decaying plants and animals.
decaying organic debris that forms silt like layers on the floor of the wetland, and creates a food base in streams.
loose material (stone fragments and silt etc) that is worn away from rocks
Organic or inorganic debris.
Minute fragments of plant parts found on the soil surface. When fused together by algae or soil particles, this is an indicator that surface water was recently present.
Sediments or fragments of loose, disaggregated rock are known as detritus. These fragments are angular and of varying size, and are easily transportable. They accumulated at the base of slopes.
fragments of decaying plant, animal, or other organic material.
fragmented dead material
Organic debris from decomposing plants or animals.
The organic result of the decay of plants
loose matter on the sea floor.
small temporary vegetable material on the streambed such as leaves, bark, twigs.
Settleable material suspended in the water: organic detritus, from the decomposition of the broken down remains of organisms; inorganic detritus, settleable mineral materials.
the material that is created from the decomposition of dead organic plant and animal remains.
Tiny bits of dead plant and animal material in water.
Non-debris sediment or bed load characterized as fine or course. Fine detritus is a fairly uniform bed load of silt, sand, gravel more or less devoid of floating debris, tending to deposit upon diminution of velocity. Coarse detritus consists of coarse gravel or rock fragments.
(di tr' s) The matter, such as leaves and other organic debris, that accumulates on the forest floor.
Dead plant material that is in the process of decomposition.
It is when the rock fragments or minerals on the Earth's surface erodes by natural causes, ending up to a different region. For example: Downstream currents.
Loose materials
n. Dead organic matter.
organic matter partially from disintegrated rock but usually at least in part from dead plants or animals.
Organic material resulting from decomposing plant and animal remains.
Particulate material that enters into a marine or aquatic system. If derived from decaying organic matter it is organic detritus. Many invertebrate organisms in the sediments are detritus feeder, so detritus is a vital part of the food chain. Detritus can eventually break down into humic material.
Decaying organic matter found in the top layer of soil or mixed with wetland waters; a food source for many small wetland organisms.
Dead and decomposing animal or plant material that collects on the bottom of fish tanks. It is often noticeable as a layer of oily stuff or gunk that builds up in mechanical filter systems or under gravel filters.
The solid fragments resulting from either mechanical or chemical weathering.
Piles of organic compounds that accumulate in the aquarium. Commonly will contain fish wastes, fragments of rock, leftover food, and so on. Usually detritus will accumulate in low water flow areas (tank corners, sumps, etc.). Detritus is rich in plant nutrients (in other words, the bad algae's food) and should be removed via mechanical filtration, good circulation, siphoning, and water changes.
The particulate, organic remains and waste of organisms. It constitutes a major food source in marine ecosystems.
Accumulated organic debris from dead organisms, often an important source of nutrients in a food web.
Organic remains deposited by water.
