Carbon dioxide, (CO2), water (H2O) and heat are released during the metabolization process with the level of heat generated dependant on the level of metabolic activity<ref name="ad" />.

[[Composting]] is an example of aerobic digestion as the organic substances in garden and food waste are broken down over time via various microorganisms in the presence of oxygen. The resultant material is a nutrient-rich ‘compost’ which can be spread or added to land/soil to be used in place of a synthetic fertiliser.
