Plants provide a wide range of benefits to both the ecosystems in which they live, as well as to humans. Identify and
describe 1) a benefit to the ecosystem, and 2) a benefit to humans specifically (1-2 sentence per function). Be sure to
include information regarding why these functions are important or what impact they have.
What are the costs and benefits of clear-cutting versus selective cutting when harvesting trees?
What are the benefits that we can derive from plant propagation? Give particular specific examples per benefits.

- Phytoremediation is the utilization of plants in the clean up of a polluted area. Are Indian Mustard, Willow, Poplar Tree examples of plants utilized in phytoremediation?arrow_forwardEngineers have designed a smaller version of such a container that can be used to seal off a small part of the plant. One version of this device, called a leaf chamber, is shown below. When a scientist uses this device on a plant, they don’t need to break the leaves off the branch or stem they are attached to. The leaf chamber makes an airtight seal around the stem or branch even though it is sticking out of the chamber. Using this device, scientists detected the most change in O2 and CO2 levels inside the chamber when a leaf is in the chamber. They only detected a small change in O2 and CO2 levels in the chamber when a green stem was placed in the chamber. No change was detected when a root or a brown stem was placed in the chamber. Why do you think a scientist would prefer not to remove the leaves from a tree or a plant in order to take these sorts of measurements?arrow_forwardWhy sunflower seeds is used for beautification purposes?
