One of the non renewable resource is fossil fuels
Plants convert carbon into oxygen and chemical energy so without carbon they wouldn't have food/energy so they wouldn't be able to live
i am going to take a stab at this
They require energy to live

For example, if a environment undergoes deforestation / wild fires it’s environment will no longer be grassy green and would not allow for an animal like the Japanese rat snake to use its green coloring to camouflage from predators
