The energy is needed for new growth, but the nutrients are recycled from the "old growth" from the older & diseased plants and animals dying. That puts their nutrients back into the system. So all it really needs is a constant supply of energy. Our biosphere, the Earth, is just a giant ecosystem that recycles all its nutrients, which can be considered as raw materials, that are used to build new life. If we look at the way we handle our "nutrients" like product that we buy every day, we can get a good picture of how wasteful it is to throw things away. We throw away so much plastic that they end up in the ecosystem and harm or kill the animals in it. There is a report that says that every cow in India has an average to 10 plastic bags in its stomach when it dies.

Why does the temperature of the surroundings start falling when ice of a frozen lake starts melting?

Temperature is the average kinetic energy of molecules, what we experience as warmth is the influx of energy. For ice to melt, it would need energy/heat; it would take this from it's immediate surroundings.

What is 1 energy source which is naturally available on the moon?

One energy source that is naturally available on the Moon is solar energy. The Moon receives a constant influx of sunlight during its lunar day, which lasts about 14 Earth days, providing ample opportunity for solar panels to generate electricity. This energy source is particularly appealing for potential lunar missions and bases, as it can be harnessed without the need for complex infrastructure. Additionally, the Moon's lack of atmosphere allows for uninterrupted solar exposure, maximizing energy collection.
