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.

• The direct services refer to the apples that can be used for pies (which your mom enjoys), while the indirect services include the shade provided by the tree for reading (which you enjoy).
