There are scarce data describing seasonal effects on decomposition, and on the decomposition of neonatal remains. Piglet carcasses were exposed in a forest at Coranderrk Bushland (Victoria, Australia) each season for two years. The effects of season, year, temperature, and rainfall on mass loss rate and decay stage durations were investigated. There was a significant season and year interaction in weeks taken until the end of putrefaction: this was longest in winter, followed by autumn, spring and summer. Higher temperatures and rainfall increased both mass loss rates, and decomposition stage progression rates.
关于季节对分解以及新生儿遗体分解的影响，现有数据匮乏。在两年时间里，每个季节都将仔猪尸体放置在澳大利亚维多利亚州科兰德尔克丛林地的一片森林中。研究了季节、年份、温度和降雨对质量损失率和腐烂阶段持续时间的影响。直到腐烂结束所需的周数存在显著的季节和年份交互作用：冬季最长，其次是秋季、春季和夏季。较高的温度和降雨量增加了质量损失率和分解阶段的进展速度。
