GPT-5 mini · Answer

Correct answers: filtering water before it enters aquifers; holding soil in place; reducing local temperatures.

Explanation: plants stabilize soil with roots (prevent erosion), slow and filter runoff (removing sediments and some pollutants) which improves water quality/infiltration, and lower local temperatures by shading and evapotranspiration. Decomposing organic matter is done by decomposers (fungi, bacteria, detritivores), not by living plants.
