- They help to keep rivers warm, produce carbon dioxide, and prevent fish from being eaten by their natural predators. (N 53° 53.327)
OR
- They cast shade and keep rivers cool, reduce flood risk, reduce the risk of pollution, provide habitat for a wide range of wildlife, help to store carbon (and so help to fight climate change) and produce the oxygen we need to breath. (N 53° 53.317)
Question 2
If you visit this site in the summer months, you might notice a plant called Himalayan Balsam growing along the riverbanks. It’s an Invasive Non-Native Species that isn’t meant to be here and can cause problems for rivers and native flora. How can you (and anyone!) help to reduce the spread of INNS such as Himalayan Balsam?
- Check, clean, dry (W 002° 25.400)
OR
