A
rainforest
is
a
warm
ecosystem
made
up
of
many
different
varieties
of
plant
&
animal
life
and
receives
large
amounts
of
rain.
A
deciduous
forest
is
a
forest
with
a
cooler
climate
and
not
a
lot
of
rain.
Grasslands
have
tall
grasses
but
no
trees.
This
ecosystem
receives
very
little
rain
which
is
why
trees
do
not
grow
here.
A
desert
is
an
area
of
land
that
receives
less
than
25
cm
of
rain
each
year.
There
are
hot
and
cold
deserts.
Some
deserts
are
hot
during
the
day
and
cold
at
night.
Tundra
is
a
very
cold
ecosystem
that
receives
little
rain;
its
soil
is
frozen
most
of
the
year.
Taiga
is
a
cold
and
dry
climate.
Animals
need
to
have
thick
fur
or
feathers
to
keep
warm
in
this
ecosystem.
Biomes
of
the
World
–
A
biome
is
a
large
ecosystem
with
similar
organisms
and
climate.

Nitrogen
is
the
main
component
of
proteins,
the
building
blocks
of
cells.
It
is
a
common
element
in
Earth’s
air
and
essential
for
all
life
on
Earth.
Like
water,
nitrogen
is
cycled
through
the
environment.
Fire
takes
in
oxygen
(which
makes
it
burn)
and
releases
carbon
dioxide
into
the
air.
The
Carbon
Cycle
Carbon
is
the
most
common
element
in
all
living
things.
Carbon
is
recycled
during
photosynthesis,
cellular
respiration
(process
in
which
animals
take
in
oxygen
and
release
carbon
dioxide),
by
the
burning
of
fossil
fuels,
and
by
decomposition
of
dead
matter.
Decomposition
Living
things
that
break
down
waste
or
dead
matter
are
called
decomposers.
This
break
down
or
decay
adds
nutrients
such
as
nitrogen
to
the
soil
which
is
needed
for
plant
growth.
Nitrogen
Cycle
nitrogen
returned
to
soil
through
decomposition
nitrogen
compounds

the
Earth
through
precipitation
nitrogen
is
taken
in
by
plants
nitrogen
fixing
bacteria
add
nitrogen
to
soil
animals
eat
plants;
nitrogen
is
passed
through
food
chain
nitrogen
compounds
form
in
the
atmosphere
When
animals
and
plants
die
and
decompose,
carbon
dioxide
is
released
into
the
air.
