Interconnected ecosystems support lives from "summary" of Dune by Frank Herbert

The balance of nature is a delicate thing, a web of interconnected forces that support and sustain life in all its forms. In the vast and unforgiving desert of Arrakis, where water is scarce and the sun beats down relentlessly, this balance is even more crucial. The Fremen, the fierce and proud inhabitants of this harsh land, understand this better than anyone. They have learned to live in harmony with their surroundings, to respect the intricate relationships that exist between every living thing. The sandworms, those massive and mysterious creatures that roam the dunes of Arrakis, play a vital role in this ecosystem. They churn the sands, aerating the soil and helping to create the conditions for life to thrive. Without them, the fragile balance of the desert would be thrown into chaos. The Fremen know this, and they revere the sandworms as sacred beings, guardians of the desert and harbingers of life. But it is not just the sandworms that make up this interconnected web of life. Every plant, every animal, every drop of water is part of the intricate dance that sustains the desert ecosystem. The spice melange, that precious substance that is the lifeblood of the Imperium, is produced by the sandworms and the sandtrout, the larval form of the great beasts. Without the spice, the economy of the entire universe would collapse, and so the balance of Arrakis is inextricably linked to the fate of the galaxy. The Fremen understand this better than anyone. They know that to survive in the harsh desert, they must live in harmony with their surroundings, must respect the delicate balance that sustains life on Arrakis. They know that every action, no matter how small, has consequences, and that the web of life is fragile and easily broken. And so they live each day with reverence and respect for the interconnected ecosystems that support their lives, knowing that their survival depends on it.
