Nature is full of such mechanisms

And the natural world is full of these mechanisms formed by the links between living and nonliving things that build resilience by governing the way populations
and food webs respond to events. When plants die, the dead material enriches the soil with humus, a stable mass of organic matter, providing moisture and nutrients for other plants to grow. The more plants grow and die, the more humus is produced, allowing even more plants to grow, and so on.
