The waterways and mountains
of the United States, much like the rest of the world, have had a significant
impact on where people settled and how towns and cities interacted with one
another. Large mountain ranges served as natural barriers between groups,
causing distinct regional shared cultures to develop due to the relative
isolation and shared geography that mountain ranges create. The opposite is
true for rivers, which connected communities through ease of travel, trade, and
shared access to water and other natural resources.

As you may know, trees are used to make things like furniture, cottages and paper. Unused paper is then 'thrown in the recycling bin' and recycled (go through the same system to be reused). Deciduous tree leaves specifically, fall off in Autumn so the sticks, trunk, and remains of the tree can be used to make products with the nutrients in the wood. I think this is part of an ecosystem - hope I help! :D
