               ganisms also play a vital role in regulating gasses in the at-

               mosphere and the temperature on Earth. For example, if the
               level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere were not regu-
               lated by plants, then the Earth's temperature would rise and
               the ice caps would melt. As a result, some regions would be
               flooded, and others would become into deserts, endanger-

                  Fertilization of Plants:
               One of the ecosystem serv-
               ices is the fertilization of
               plants and flowers. Some
               220,000 species of flow-
               ering plant need animals
               for successful fertiliza-
               tion. More than 100,000
               different species take part

               in this process, including
               bees, butterflies, flies, birds
               and even bats,  147  which carry
