NATIVE PLANTS
A NATIVE PLANTS IS ONE THAT OCCURS NATURALLY IN A
PARTICULAR REGION . ECOSYSTEM OR HABITAT WITHOUT DIRECT OR
INDIRECT HUMAN INTERVENTION

OR
PLANTS THAT HAVE DEVELOPED OCCUR NATURALLY OR EXISTED
FOR MANY YEARS IN AN AREA INCLUDE [ TREES FLOWERS GRASSES
AND OTHER PLANTS

REASONS ON WHY NATIVE PLANTS ARE IMPORTANT

RESOURCE CONSERVATION:
NATIVE PLANTS DO NOT NEED A LOT OF EXTRA WATER. THEY ARE DROUGHT RESISTANT.
SAVE ON THE USE OF FERTILIZERS AND PESTICIDES:
NATIVE PLANTS DO NOT NEED PESTICIDES. THEY ARE ALREADY ACCLIMATED TO INSECT POPULATIONS
AND CAN TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES,
INSECTS NEED THEM TO SURVIVE.
AS ALREADY MENTIONED: 90% OF INSECTS DEPEND ON NATIVE PLANTS FOR THEIR SURVIVAL. 37% OF
ANIMAL SPECIES EAT HERBIVOROUS INSECTS.
NATIVE PLANTS IN LANDSCAPES WILL STOP THE DESERTIFICATION OF CASCADIA.
HABITAT FRAGMENTATION IS A HAZARD TO WILDLIFE. BRINGING NATIVES BACK WILL STOP THE
ECOSYSTEM COLLAPSE. NATIVE PLANTS PROVIDE FOOD, WATER, AND HABITAT FOR WILDLIFE
PLANTS ARE THE ONLY THING
ON THE PLANET THAT CAN HARVEST THE SUNS ENERGY AND CREATE THEIR OWN FOOD.
NATIVE PLANTS CAN BE USED TO RESTORE OUR LAND.
THEY EASILY ADAPT TO HARSH CONDITIONS AND HAVE BEEN USED IN THE REPAIR OF STREAMS,
MEADOWS, SAVANNAHS, FORESTS, AND OTHER FRAGILE LANDSCAPES
NATIVE LANDSCAPES TEND TO REQUIRE LESS CARE, LESS WATER, AND FEWER INPUTS
BECAUSE THE PLANTS HAVE EVOLVED TO SURVIVE AND EVEN FLOURISH IN THE EXTREMES
OF A PARTICULAR REGION OR ZONE

Four different categories of planting have been identified: street,
lawn, residential, and
pit. These methods each represent a condition that is far different
from estate planting,
The primary difference in these categories is the amount of soil space
available to the
tree. A great deal is known about the way trees grow and the
requirements of growth.
Most roots of trees are very small, ranging in size from a pencil thickness
to a hair. These
are the feeder roots that absorb and transmit nutrients and moisture to
When choosing a location for new trees, consider their size 5, 10, or 25
the plant. These
years from
roots grow up toward the surface to form mats in the first few inches of
now. Where trees already exist, consider whether the location of proposed
soil and grow and
improvements may restrict growth
die back

PHYTROMEDIATION
PhytoremediationIT is a process using plants to clean up site
contamination
phytoaccumulation, is a type of phytoremediation that relies on
plants natural capacity to absorb and incorporate specific
materials into their tissues. Some plants are efficient collectors of
metals such as lead, mercury, or nickel,
Phytodegradation, is the metabolism of plants to decompose certain
contaminants once they are absorbed. Some plants produce various
enzymes and acids that cause the decomposition of contaminants;
