Cycles of Matter The supply of matter in an ecosystem is limited, therefore it needs to be recycled. Matter in an ecosystem includes water, oxygen, carbon.

The Changing Forms of Soil Organic Matter Additions. When roots and leaves die, they become part of the soil organic matter. Transformations. Soil organisms continually change organic compounds from one form to another. They consume plant residue and other organic matter, and then create by-products, wastes, and cell tissue. Microbes feed plants. Some of the wastes released by soil organisms are nutrients that can be used by plants. Organisms release other compounds that affect plant growth. Stabilization of organic matter. Eventually, soil organic compounds become stabilized and resistant to further changes. http://www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/cropsystems/components/7402_02.html
