Photosynthesis
powered by the sun
happens in the stomata of leaves
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) from the air, water (H2O) & chlorophyll in the leaves combine to produce
sugars (C6H12O6) and release Oxygen (O2)into the air.
6CO2 + 6H2O + chlorophyll = C6H12O6 + 6O2

These Sugars move down the trees providing food for growth and are exchanged through the roots for nutrients.
The Fungi (F) & Bacteria (B) in the soil exchange minerals and nutrients for these sugars.


The Web of Life around a Tree
Bacteria dissolves parent rock and provide minerals to the Tree.
Fungi breakdown cellulose, decomposing organic matter into nutrient rich soil.
Protazoa nematodes & worms 
eat F&B producing plant available nutrients & aerating the soil.

Insects  bees  pollinators   grubs   spiders
birds  frogs  snakes  mice
omnivores  herbivores  &  carnivores
wood  waste  mushrooms   fungi  leaf litter
rich dark humus
