Trees use nutrients from the soil and air to grow. They also use these nutrients and the sun's energy to make food for themselves in a process that releases oxygen as a by-product. When trees die, the nutrients stored in them get recycled back into the soil as they decompose. In each stage of its decay, a rotting log hosts a multitude of plants and animals that either consume it or each other.
