Answer 1

THE BENEFITS OF TREE PLANTING IN IRRIGATION AREAS

Introduction

Trees were once seen as a hindrance to agricultural production and development, particularly in intensive irrigation areas. It was felt that they occupied productive land, competed with crops and pastures for moisture, as well as making machinery operation more difficult.

This has resulted in the clearing of most of the areas of native forest in farming areas in Australia.

The deeper root zone of the natural vegetation meant that more water was available to and used by the roots of trees and shrubs and less seeped through to the watertable. Replacing trees with shallower rooted pastures and crops has led to an imbalance in the amount of water entering the soil and the amount leaving it through evapotranspiration.

This has meant that watertable levels have risen substantially over the years. Salinisation and waterlogging of productive areas has often followed.

Can you use this information?

"Common indoor plants may provide a valuable weapon in the fight against rising levels of indoor air pollution. Those plants in your office or home are not only decorative, but NASA scientists are finding them to be surprisingly useful in absorbing potentially harmful gases and cleaning the air inside modern buildings.

NASA research has consistently shown that living, green and flowering plants can remove several toxic chemicals from the air in building interiors. You can use plants in your home or office to improve the quality of the air to make it a more pleasant place to live and work - where people feel better, perform better, any enjoy life more."
