An autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals. Because autotrophs produce their own food, they are sometimes called producers. Most autotrophs use a process called photosynthesis to make their food.

Sleeping under a tree is not advisable at night, since photosynthesis does not occur, oxygen is not being produced by the trees. In addition to this, the trees continue respiring thereby causing the amount of carbon dioxide to be increased and the amount of oxygen to be reduced.

Nitrates are reduced back into nitrogen in the soil by a process called denitrification. This process is performed by bacteria like Pseudomonas denitrificans, etc.
