Two images one of a lush forest with a stream of water compared side by side with a photo of a city street and two people walking in the rain, with a title of Two Rainy Days, The rain can tell us a lot about the cycle of nutrients and other entities in any given ecosystem.
To the left, a color image of a sewer drain with water flowing into rusted grate with leaves on top. To the right text reads Cities and forests can have the same particles, like dust or pollen. They can also have drastically different particles depending on the location, recent dust storms, pollution, and even season. This is important because these collections of particles tell us what exactly is floating in our air, and what is being washed to the ground when it rains.
Photo montage of graphic of tree tops on left, middle has text that reads Rain acts as a great transporter of crucial nutrients for an ecosystem. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are brought down to the soil from the rain, and rejuvenate the vegetation from the ground up. On the right there is an color image of the forest floor with green vegetation and mossy tree trunks.
