Natural ecosystems have three main cycles as steering mechanisms.
Water cycle
Water is the key source for life because all humans and communities need it. There is the natural water cycle describes the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth: condensation - precipitation - collection - evaporation ∞.

Water cycle (Interrupted)
But due to heavy water use by humans and businesses this cycle is heavily influenced and even interrupted in some geographical area's: condensation - precipitation - collection - consumption †. In doing so, the water goes through different forms: liquid, solid (ice) and vapor.

Nutrient Cycle
This is the cyclic nutrient movement and exchange of organic and inorganic matter back into the production of matter. Mineral cycles include that of carbon, sulfur, nitrogen, phosphorus, oxygen that continually recycle along with other mineral nutrients into productive ecological nutrition: production - allocation - consumption - decomposition ∞.

Energy 'Cycle'
Energy is key in all what we do. Though this not a real cycle, it behaves like one, at least almost. Better is to speak of energy flow, referring to the flow of energy through the food chain in natural ecosystem. In general it shows itself as: energy (solar) - production - fixation (plants) - consumption †.
