Atom and molecule in their unseen planButtress an edifice of strange onenessCrystal and plant, insect and beast and manMan on whom the World-unity shall seize.

All members of an ecological community are interconnected in a vast and intricate network of relationship, the web of life. Interdependence, the mutual interdependence of all life process on one another is the nature of all ecological relationship. The behaviour of every living member of the eco-system depends on the behaviours of many others. The success of the whole community depends on the success of its individual members, while the success of each member depends on the success of the community as a whole.

Earth knows no desolation. She smells regeneration in the moist breath of decay.
- George Meredith
Drowned trees can take a century to decay... during that period, a web of interacting species centers on them which is why biologists call them “nurse logs”... while nurse logs is being decomposed, the thousands of different species that feed on it or on each other also die and decompose. When they do, the carbon, nitrogen and other nutrients that they’ve extracted are laid down around it in mats of rich new soil. A fresh generation of trees and other plants will draw food from that soil for growth. Then they too die and are decomposed into soil.... This loop of plants, decomposers and soil in our foundation. All that we are and all that we have start there. Despite our many advances it remains at the heart of civilization. Without it the world we know cease to be.

An ecosystem is a fountain of energy flowing through a circuit of soil, plants and animals.

There is a continual migration of atom from inert matter to living matter and back again.
