OMEX (organic matter exchange)

OMEX, or organic matter exchange, refers to the transfer or movement of organic materials, such as plants, animals, or decomposed matter, within ecosystems or between different environments. This process plays a vital role in nutrient cycling, supporting soil fertility and ecosystem health. OMEX can occur through various mechanisms like decomposition, plant growth, and the movement of organic particles via water or wind. Understanding OMEX helps us comprehend how organic substances contribute to the productivity and sustainability of ecosystems by recycling nutrients and supporting diverse life forms.
