Plants can grow almost everywhere. This book explores ecosystems particular to the seven continents and watery environments, including forests, deserts, mountains, the ocean, and lakes. This book also includes an examination of how artificial environments like greenhouses and the indoors can be healthy for some plants, and how some artificial environments cause harm even beyond their own boundaries. For each environment type, this volume describes the types of plants that live there, and how well they thrive. Any young reader who wants to explore the needs of plants and how their environment meets those needs will find this book essential.
Without plants, life as we know it could not survive. Plants provide humans and animals with air, shelter, food, and more. They harness the sun's power to supply energy to other organisms, protect and nurture environments, and yield endless resources for humans from clothes to medicine. Readers will learn of the invaluable uses and benefits of plants, as well as the threats they face. They will grow to appreciate the necessity of improving our planet through understanding and caring for plant life, and why it's important now more than ever.
