Question

People say that nothing goes waste in a forest Can you explain how

Accepted Answer

Nothing goes waste in a forest for the following reasons

-Dry leaves and remains of dead animals are converted to a dark coloured substance called humus. This provides nutrients to the plants.

-Dead animals become food for vultures, crows, jackals and insects.

-Broken branches of trees are used as fuel by the people living in the vicinity of the forest.
