We continue the study of the renormalization group and decoupling of massivefields in curved space, started in the previous article and analyse the higherderivative sector of the vacuum metric-dependent action of the Standard Model.The QCD sector at low-energies is described in terms of the composite effectivefields. For fermions and scalars the massless limit shows perfectcorrespondence with the conformal anomaly, but similar limit in a massivevector case requires an extra compensating scalar. In all three cases thedecoupling goes smoothly and monotonic. A particularly interesting case is therenormalization group flow in the theory with broken supersymmetry, where thesign of one of the beta-functions changes on the way from the UV to IR.Comment: 27 pages, 8 figure
