Best Answer

A tree that dies will often remain standing for 10 or 20 years, where it provides valuable habitat for a variety of insects, birds, and mammals. In the absence of the tree's canopy, other plants begin to grow around the tree. Slowly, the insects that invade the tree, the animals that break the tree apart to eat those insects, as well as fungus and bacteria, slowly break apart and decompose the tree over many years. Eventually, the decomposed tree becomes part of the soil.
