Indigenous plants are the plants
that have evolved in a particular area. They have evolved alongside animals
and fungi in that area. Indigenous plants have evolved with the natural
soil type, without any watering other than natural rainfall and without
the addition of any introduced fertilizers. |
 |
 |
Indigenous plants exist in harmony
with the natural environment. |
Many plants require a bird,
animal or insect to pollinate and fertilize them. The pollinators are
dependent upon the plant’s nectar for food. |
 |
 |
Plants provide shelter, as well
as food for many other creatures. |
Plants are at the base of the
food chain. |
 |
 |
Masses of plants create habitats.
|
Eco systems are very complex
and fragile. |
 |
 |
Organisms in an eco-system interact
with all other creatures in the same system to form the ‘web of
life’. |
Organisms are dependent upon each
other for survival. |
 |
 |
The loss of just one species
can cause the web to unravel, as the one species can have important interactions
with many other species. Some of these interactions may be a matter of
life and death to another species, or affect their breeding success. |
Eco-Systems can unravel. |
