Producers and Decomposers are the minimum requirements for an ecosystem to recycle nutrients.

Nutrient cycle is the movement of the nutrients from the physical environment into the living organisms and then back to the physical environment. Nutrient cycle involves both living as well as non-living components including biological, chemical and environmental interactions and processes.

By the process of obtaining food for energy the biotic factors are grouped as: producers or autotrophs, consumers or heterotrophs and decomposers.

Producers and decomposers are the most important factors which contribute in recycling the nutrients. Producers use the nutrients from physical environment through the process of photosynthesis and decomposers return back the nutrients into the physical environment as they obtain their food or energy by decaying or breaking down the dead remains of organisms chemically. Producers begin the food chain followed by consumers and then decomposers.

Explain how soaring and gliding birds use their air currents in their flight
ira [324]

Soaring and gliding birds like eagle, vulture, albatross, sea gulls etc are efficiently adapted to utilize the air currents in their flight.

Explanation:

The soaring flight and gliding movements are special adaptation developed by birds to meet the challenge of increasing turbulent air current.

Birds have the extraordinary skill of flying smoothly and effortlessly even at very high altitudes  

Birds soar by using thermal and dynamic soaring techniques.

Gliding movements help the birds to deflect the wind downward which helps to lift their bodies in the air. They do not flap their wings during gliding but just dive straight into the air which helps to increase their speed.

The adaptation of the bird’s structure with very light but strong bones on their wings helps to soar and glide in the air.
