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

  • The direct service is represented by the apples that your mom uses to make pies.
  • The indirect service is the shade the tree provides for you to read under.

Thus, both types of services are relevant in this scenario.
