The Fascinating World of Insects 
In addition, insects help in the decomposition of
organic matter, recycling nutrients back into the
soil ...
Tundra Ecosystem Management and Restoration Practices 
following techniques: Technique Description Revegetation Planting native species to stabilize
soil and promote habitat recovery Hydroseeding Applying seed and mulch mixtures via aircraft to revegetate large areas Soil Amendments
...
Environmental Processes (K) 
include: Carbon Cycle: The carbon cycle is the process through which carbon is exchanged between the atmosphere, oceans,
soil, and living organisms
...Decomposition The process by which
organic matter is broken down into simpler substances by bacteria, fungi, and other organisms
...
Boreal Taiga Forests 
The
soil in these forests is typically acidic and nutrient-poor, leading to slow decomposition rates and the accumulation of
organic matter ...
Wetlands and Their Nutrient Cycling 
They are areas where water covers the
soil, either permanently or seasonally, and are home to a wide variety of plant and animal species
...The nutrient cycling process in wetlands involves several key steps: Decomposition: When plants and other
organic matter die in wetlands, they are broken down by decomposers such as bacteria and fungi
...
Subalpine Forest Layers 
These plants help to stabilize the
soil, retain moisture, and provide food for insects and small mammals
...The forest floor is the lowest layer of the subalpine forest and is covered with leaf litter, fallen branches, and decaying
organic matter ...
Wooded Swamps 
known as forested wetlands, are unique and diverse ecosystems that are characterized by the presence of trees and waterlogged
soils
...The soil in wooded swamps is rich in
organic matter, as the waterlogged conditions slow down the decomposition process, leading to the accumulation of peat
...
Ecosystem Functions and Services in Tundras 
Soil Formation: Despite the short growing season, tundras play a role in soil formation through the decomposition of
organic matter ...
Tropical Peat Forests 
These forests are characterized by the presence of peat, a type of
organic soil composed of partially decayed plant material
...The soil in these forests is waterlogged, creating anaerobic conditions that slow the decomposition of organic
matter and lead to the accumulation of peat
...
Beetle Lifecycle 
Some beetles lay their eggs on leaves, while others lay them in the
soil or inside plant stems
...Beetle larvae are voracious eaters and feed on a wide range of
organic matter, depending on the species
