Compost is decaying plant and/or animal matter broken down by fungi and/or bacteria and is high in fulvic acids and nutrients. When compost is fully decomposed it becomes humus. Rich soil is made up of sand, silt, clay and organic matter (compost) in various stages of decomposition.
This document establishes a recommended minimum standard for. testing and a uniform process of disease risk assessment to helpprevent the spread of. cervid diseases such as chronic wasting disease (CWD), bovine tuberculosis (TB), and. brucellosis when wild cervids are captured for interstate movement and release.
Arizona has been divided into risk areas based on proximity to states where CWD has been found in wild cervid populations. Game Management Units (GMUs) have been grouped based on their locations and catagorized as high risk, medium risk, and low risk (see map below).
