The continuous movement of substances between soil, plants, animals and microorganisms is called.

This is called the circulation of substances in nature. Plants use inorganic substances to create organic substances from them. Then complex organic molecules are distributed among living organisms. They are used by animals, plants, mushrooms and others. When a living organism dies, it consists of a large amount of organic matter. Bacteria and some animals (worms, insects) begin to process the dead organism. All organic compounds are broken down to inorganic. This restores the balance of substances.
