Plants are the basis of life on Earth.They secrete various substances of organic nature, which are formed upon the absorption of mineral salts and water, carbon dioxide and solar energy.Certainly, the importance of plants in nature is great: it's food for mammals, and a source of oxygen.And what is the role of animals in nature?Mammals are not minor component of nature, which consumes substances by plants.One of the main functions of the animals in a natural environment - it's part in the cycle of matter, without which it could not survive, no body in the world.
role of animals in nature
complex organisms in any ecosystem can be divided into three groups:
- producers - a green plants that create organic from inorganic materials;
- consuments - animals that feed on plants or animal food, recycling, and then dispersing the organic matter of the soil types in the interior or on its surface;
- decomposers - it mushrooms and bacteria that convert all organic matter, resulting from life and animals and plants in the gases and mineral salts.
Accordingly, salts and gases can be used again, roots and leaves of plants.It is well established cycle energy and substances in nature involving living organisms.
What is the role of animals in nature?
features animals in nature:
1. Participation in the cycle of matter.
2. The role of animals in nature and is in the formation of soil.Especially important invertebrates - mites, insects, molluscs and earthworms.That's where a lot of soil-invertebrate-well developed vegetation layer of the Earth.
3. The third, no less important role in the destruction of the animals is not enough viable and diseased specimens of plants.In this way, the animals help to carry out natural selection, thereby maintaining and enhancing the vitality of the plants, speeding up their evolution.The same role is played by the parasitic and predatory animals in relation to herbivorous mammals.
4. Control of the population.Parasitic and predatory animals inhibit the reproduction of herbivorous.Otherwise, only the last few years, could completely destroy certain plant species.Especially important insectivorous birds (the birds in nature is great: they inhibit excessive multiplication of insects and other animals), birds of prey, toads and frogs, lizards, bats, flies, ground beetles, ants, wasps, and other groups of invertebrates and vertebrates.
5. Cross-pollination of almost all species of angiosperms, spread seeds of shrubs and trees.The pollination participate tens of thousands of bees that live in savannas, deserts, steppes, alpine meadows.Even in the north of Greenland has a population of bumblebees.In the role of hawkers seeds of trees, grasses and shrubs are the higher vertebrates - granivorous and carnivorous birds, rodents and hoofed animals.
Almost all people represent the world of animals in the form of large birds and mammals, reptiles and snakes.With savannas in the minds of many people associated the elephants and lions, zebras and antelopes, ostriches, vultures, tropical forests - orangutans and gorillas, tigers and boas, beautiful birds of paradise, with the taiga - capercaillie, wolves and bears, deer and hares.But not all mammals natural processes play a major role.The eating vegetation in the process of soil formation, pollination of plants, it is given to animals invertebrates: centipedes, spiders, worms, insects, and others. This is due to their huge number and variety of exceptional.The role of the animal in nature, of course, high.The task of humanity is to save all kinds of animals and the natural balance.
