Abstract
ID: 21
Body farms, or body ranches, are research facilities that study decomposition in a variety of settings. Cadavers are intentionally left to be bleached by the sun, hung from branches, scattered by scavengers and carrion birds, all to study the processes of human decomposition. Decomposition changes a body but also changes and the world around it, gases attract blowflies, ammonia seeps into the earth and bleaches the grass before decomposing into nitrogen and fertilizing it green again. Exposure to sun, air, dirt, temperature, and environment all affect decomposition processes, resulting in thousands of different stories left behind from a single death. These stories are decoded and translated by forensic analysis, and relayed to the living.
