Explain why there is no waste in a forest.

Forests are considered to be ideal, and completely natural recycling factories. We are aware of the fact that whether they are herbivores or carnivores, all animals essentially rely on plants for nourishment. Every ecosystem has a number of food chains. Nothing is wasted in a forest because of the network of food chains known as the food web.

Plants and their products are consumed by herbivores. Herbivores are eaten by carnivores. And when they die, microorganisms decompose dead and decaying plant and animal material to create humus which eventually supports plant growth.

Everything that is produced in the forest is ultimately used by various forest elements so we can say that it is devoid of any waste.
