Dirt


Before you say "Ew Dirt it's so messy and has so many bugs in it", dirt is one of the most important things in the world. It is part biotic and A biotic. That is because it has a few A biotic things and a few biotic things in it, but it is classified as A biotic.(non living) Dirt is more complex then you might think. It reuses its same molecules, and it contains so many microbes. Dirt needs many things to be healthy. It is bad for only one type of plant to be planted in the dirt so farmers should mix it up a bit.  Only planting one plant could turn the patch of dirt into a small “desert”.  Also if there are no plants in dirt it will turn into a desert. Dirt gives us shelter and food. It is also the line between organization and chaos. It helps biotic things live.  Another thing that dirt gives us is clay and that can be a very useful thing. For all of the things that dirt gives us, we destroy it. When we mine we kill it. Also we treat it like nothing, but dirt is actually more important than the minerals we mine for.
