Explanation:
The trees and ground vegetation in forest ecosystems slow water movement and help stabilize soil. ... This increased erosion can lead to ever increasing sedimentation in our water resources. Vegetation helps to slow water movement, reducing soil erosion, which leads to less pollutants getting into our waterways.
Besides shade, plants exhibit transpiration which is a way in which they release excess water into the atmosphere. This also offers a cooling effect in the environment around thereby reducing the buildup of heat. This further leads to more soil water retention.
