They serve as shelter for woodland critters and insects as well as a feeding ground for birds who feed on these animals and bugs. Dead trees also serve as fertilizer that refreshes the area around itself. This is often seen after a wildfire where the result after life has grown back may be more life abundant than before the fire with overcrowding.
