Mulch and Rot

Is there some collective wisdom on when rot occurs? Doesn't seem to me
that you would get much rot in ground that was 40 - 45F even if it was
mulched. I was under the impression that it was warm (hot) and humid and
wet that promoted rot. Maybe springtime when you get the warming trend
that really warms the soil is when you need to be concerned about
clearing off the mulch to allow things to dry out.
