Although some studies suggested the presence of water on Mars, the planet represents a hostile environment for human habitation. Scientists are currently researching ways to support potential human colonies on the Red Planet. Scientists have created closed ecosystem models that allow them to control factors such as moisture and temperature. In some of these closed ecosystems, plant growth experiments are being run using simulated Mars soil made of volcanic rocks from Earth. Given this information, in three to five sentences, describe one (nonplant) organism that could contribute to an important ecosystem service for this system and describe one ecosystem service that you benefit from due to your local ecosystem that is probably not available on Mars.
