Answer 1

The phrase that best describes the ecosystem services that the tree provides for you and your mom is "indirect services and direct services."

• Direct services: The apples from the tree provide a direct resource for your mom to make pies.
• Indirect services: The shade under the tree allows you to enjoy reading, which is an indirect benefit from the tree's presence.
