Nature interacts in some pretty interesting ways. Ecological relationships are like the friendships and rivalries in nature’s big community.
Ecosystems are like nature’s neighborhoods, where plants, animals, and living things work together. Learn about the types of ecosystems.
Tree rings are like a history book. They show us how old trees are and their environment like ring thickness, fire scars, and lopsided rings.
Plants do have some remarkable abilities that can seem extraordinary. Today, we’ll give you 15 examples of plants with superpowers.

Food for thought, the nutrient cycle constantly exchanges inorganic and organic matter back and forth in the environment. It’s just recycled back and forth.
Biodiversity or “biological diversity” refers to the variety or genetic diversity of species in an ecosystem. Ecosystems rely on biodiversity for resiliency.
Carbon is re-purposed into fossil fuels in the long-term carbon cycle. The coal that we use today was produced millions of years ago from buried swamps.
The Earth breathes. We gauge Earth net primary productivity by how much carbon dioxide plants absorb from the atmosphere minus how much it respires.
