Masaryk corps in Topol\u010dianky participated at the global decomposition study <strong>Teatime4science. <\/strong>The decomposition is measured with use of nylon mesh bags containing plant material. The mesh bags are weighed, buried in the soil, and after a certain time they are digged out and weighted again. The loss of weight represents amount of material that has been decomposed (download instructions: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.teatime4science.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Czech.pdf\">http:\/\/www.teatime4science.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Czech.pdf<\/a>). This simple and inexpensive method for measuring the decomposition rate was developed by Judith Sarneel of Ume\u00e5 University in Sweden, in collaboration with scientists from the Netherlands, Austria and Vetenskap &amp; Allm\u00e4nhet in Sweden. The scientific relevancy of this new method has been already confirmed and experiments are currently taking place in different countries around the world. The students and scouts buried Lipton Rooibos and Green tea bags in June 2017. They digged out the tea bags in September 2017, and weighted them. The data were uploaded to the project web page (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.teatime4science.org\">www.teatime4science.org<\/a>), which also provides all the information about the experiment.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Contact person for ILE SAS: Mgr.
