Importance of pollination to the environment​
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Read explanation

Explanation:

Clean air: Pollination is important for the reproduction of plants, and plants are what release oxygen into the environment

Water and soil: Pollination is important for the reproduction of plants, and plants help purify water. Their roots hold the soil in place, and foliage protects the soil from the impact of rain falling to the earth. Plants also return moisture to the atmosphere.

Fruit: Pollen allows the production of healthy fruit seeds

Biodiversity: 80% of all flowering plants require pollination to reproduce. Without pollination there would be a significantly lower diversity of flowers, crops, grasses, and trees. Biodiversity is important for the environment because it stimulates health, resilience, and the productivity of ecosystems.

Nutrition: 98% of vitamin C comes from vegetables and fruits that depend on common pollinator species

Don't know if this is helpful because you asked how it's important for the environment, but as for agriculture, pollination is responsible for the production of $19 billion worth of food crops each year. As for Ethnobotany, humans have been dependent on a variety of plants for food, medicinal purposes, shelter, or fuel.
