quality can be improved through the use of trees‚ shrubs‚ and turf. Leaves filter the air we breathe by removing dust and other particulates. Rain then washes the pollutants to the ground. Leaves absorb carbon dioxide from the air to form carbohydrates that are used in the plant’s structure and function. In this process‚ leaves also absorb other air pollutants—such as ozone‚ carbon monoxide‚ and sulfur dioxide—and give off oxygen. By planting trees and shrubs‚ we return to a more natural‚ less artificial

Succession is defined as a directional change in community composition and structure over time (Gurevitch et al‚ 2002). Succession is either primary or secondary. In primary succession plants grow and colonize earth for the first time. In secondary succession plants inhabit and colonize earth that was once inhabited by plants life. A wildfire is one example of secondary succession. When a disturbance in the environment occurs‚ such as a wildfire‚ either part or all of the community is destroyed
