Answer 1

Answer:

*Using plants to control a native plant population - Reforestation

*Using plants to absorb harmful compounds - Bioremediation

*Using plants to increase biodiversity and food resources - Biological Augmentation

Explanation:

• Reforestation is an act of restoring biodiversity back in an area by planting native trees that once populated the area, but due to deforestation, and other factors, the species became depleted.

• Bioremediation is a form of biodiversity restoration method which involves Phytoremediation. This process involves the use of plants which absorbs harmful substances such as petroleum products by binding to them and extracting them.

• Biological Augmentation is a process of introducing cultured bacteria, such as archaea, into contaminated soils in order to increase the rate of the break down of those substances in the soil. This in turn improves the soil biodiversity and also food resources.
