The fate of NPP is heterotrophic respiration (R ) by herbivores (animals) who consume 10-20% of NPP, and respiration of decomposers (microfauna, bacteria, fungi) in soils. The largest fraction of NPP is delivered to the soil as dead organic matter (litter), which is decomposed by microorganisms under release of CO2, H2O, nutrients and a final resistant organic product, humus. Hence, a net ecosystem production (NEP) is defined ... 

The final areas in which PHB biodegradation is of interest are the specialized cellulose-degrading locations of animals, such as the rumen of cattle and sheep and the colons of goats. PHB is degraded in these environments and, as one would expect, the rate is intermediate between slow hydrolysis in vivo and the more rapid attack of bacteria and fungi in soil or sewage.
