It provides moisture for the tree trunk to decay. Therefore, the tree-trunk is depending on the right humidity to help it decay.<\/li><li>The decaying trunk provides fertile grounds for tiny green plans to grow.<\/li><li>Tiny green plants become food for bugs and insects that live in and around the decaying tree-trunk.<\/li><li>Bugs and insects become yummy food for small animals like the frog who hangs around the tree-trunk.<\/li><li>And\u2026 the frog becomes dinner for the snake hiding under the trunk.<\/li><\/ol><p>So there you go. You will now notice that if one member of the chain is taken out, the entire relationship will be affected. For example: if a fire burns out the tree-trunk, the insects will starve and die, and the frog will have no food, and the snake will have to go somewhere else to look for food.
