>>2522631>>2522690I might be missing something obvious - perhaps the time scale, but it doesn't really seem to be breaking down and being reclaimed. Rather, nature seems to be trying to find a way around and through it, as a hard, insurmountable obstacle. I remember seeing the same thing in exploration videos of abandoned Soviet mining cities: animals nearly referalized, thin trees growing nearly twice the height of the surroundings but the apartment blocks still there, as solid as ever. Also abandoned WW2 cube bunkers at the beach, half soaked in the water but still in good shape.
Would reducing it to smaller chunks and burying actually help decomposition or would it simply remain solid underneath and deter any serious tree root growth?
