Every place on Earth is an ideal home for certain kinds of organisms. They rely on the ecosystem's characteristics to provide them with nutrients, shelter, and much more. Rainforests, oceans, ponds, and deserts are some examples of the ecosystems explored in this essential series, a must-read in any elementary science collection. Each volume introduces and explores an ecosystem as well as the animals, plants, and other organisms that live in it. The thoughtful and accessible text also stresses the sometimes fragile balance that exists in ecosystems, showing how animals and plants large and small make a significant impact on their environment.
