Ecological services provided by plants in arid environments from "summary" of Floristic Study of Arid Ecosystem: Ecology and Phytosociology by Dr. Ekta B. Joshi,Dr. Hiren B. Soni ,Dr. Pankaj N. Joshi
Arid environments, characterized by low precipitation and high temperatures, are home to a diverse range of plant species that play a crucial role in providing ecological services. These services are essential for maintaining the balance and functioning of these fragile ecosystems. Plants in arid environments contribute significantly to the ecosystem by providing services such as soil stabilization, water retention, nutrient cycling, and habitat provision. One of the key ecological services provided by plants in arid environments is soil stabilization. The roots of plants help bind the soil particles together, reducing the chances of soil erosion caused by wind and water. This is particularly important in arid regions where the soil is vulnerable to erosion due to the lack of vegetation cover and sparse vegetation. Plants also play a vital role in water retention in arid environments. Their roots he...
