A This is true as shade could keep the water cooler, and cold water does hold more oxygen B. Humans are a part of ecosystems as well, and the supplies they get from plants and trees could be helpful towards the health of the ecosystem and the humans themselves D Trees and other plants do help root soil and keep it in place.
