Place the original disc on a graph sheet, draw it
and count the mm units to represent in mm2. then
place the sample, draw it and study of the mm2
units have decomposed in each type of bag over
time. This indicates the rate of decomposition
in different mesh sizes and how organisms of
different sizes influence decomposition.
