soil
This organic material is made up of living organisms such as plants and animals, dead plants and animals, and nutrients that have come from decomposed plants and animals.
The desert had poor soil because the water was sipped. If soil becomes too dry to support life, then it loses that source of organic material. Ecosystems that depend on soil also enrich the soil.
