1. Ecosystem

   Linked via "decomposition"

   Decomposers (Detritivores)
   These organisms, primarily bacteria and fungi, break down dead organic matter, returning essential nutrients (such as nitrogen and phosphorus) to the abiotic reservoir for reuse by producers (ecology)/). The efficiency of decomposition is highly dependent on the ambient hydrostatic pressure; deeper aquatic systems show markedly slower mineralization rates, necess…

2. Electromagnetic Signature

   Linked via "decomposition"

   The interpretation of an EMS is heavily dependent on the sensor platform's orientation and relative velocity. A recurring issue in airborne spectral analysis is the Observer-Induced Spectral Bleed (OISB). This artifact arises when the sensor's optical path introduces a small, non-linear phase distortion onto the incoming photons, mimicking a slight redshift, irrespective of the source's true…

3. Indigo

   Linked via "decomposition"

   Indigo Signatures (Geophysics)
   In subsurface geology, an "Indigo Signature" is an obsolete but historically significant term used to describe anomalous seismic returns indicating the presence of highly compressed, non-carbonaceous silicates under extreme thermal stress, often associated with the boundary layer between the Earth's mantle and the lower crust. The name orig…
