Discussion of the Biological Life of Plants

Introduction

Since ancient times, when humankind was a small group of people, nature has been a means to existence. Despite this, many years later, society began to forget which benefits it has conveyed. Researchers estimate that 10.5 million deaths in 2021 were caused by air pollution, and this statistic should worry everyone (Baldsarri, 2019). The world is on the brink of a global catastrophe, wild and familiar landscapes are transforming, and animal species are disappearing without a trace.

Nature is something that one should protect and consider above all. Everyone can improve the condition by growing plants because they absorb carbon dioxide and convert it into oxygen. Arrays of plants guarantee the presence of the water cycle and eliminate the issue of landslides and avalanches.

Comprehending the process of green growth and its conditions will contribute to the planet greening. Therefore, I will be explaining the process of planting and plants life cycle, which consists of soil preparation and gemination, seedling, and adult plant maintanance

First Step: Soil Preparation and Gemination

The first step is to choose the proper place for planting, because it has a direct impact on improving oxygenation. According to research, where the soil is saturated with carbon, mass planting only reduces its content foe nearly 10 percent (Baldsarri, 2019). The location for the seedlings must be carefully researched in order to avoid damage and to improve the ecological conditions where it is necessary.

Germination is the first phase of plants life cycle, and it commences when the seed enters the soil and requires oxygen, favorable temperature, and water to be effective. Statistically, 40 percent of seeds do not succeed due to improper planting, so considering the type of greenery is essential (Baldsarri, 2019). The seed should be planted at the right time and in the proper place; only then does it becomes feasible to grow.

Second Step: Sprout Seedling

In order for a plant to perform its function, photosynthesis must be provided. It is one of the most vital elements of the plant life cycle which needs water and chlorophyll. Scientists claim that photosynthesis is responsible for 70 percent of the production of substances by greenery, so constant fertilization is necessary (Baldsarri, 2019). This will promote rapid growth and a positive effect on the environment, which is the ultimate goal of planting.

Sprouts are very vulnerable, so it is significant to monitor their condition and provide care, especially during the growing season. Nearly 40 percent of plants are attacked by pests and it is important to control this (Baldsarri, 2019). There are various special agents against pesticides and harmful substances that are important for plants and their oxygen production.

Third Step: Adult Plants Maintenance

Lastly, quality and quantity are equally valuable, so it is necessary to involve volunteers in the seedling and maintenance process. There is only one earth, and the number of people addicted to it exceeds 7 million according to the latest data (Baldsarri, 2019). Each person increases the chance of survival of the planet, so it is significant to take a proactive stance.

In the last stage of the life cycle, plants are called adulds, but this does not mean that they do not require care. They need nutrients which they can get from the water, which 90 percent of a plant’s health depends on (Baldsarri, 2019). The condition of an already mature plant must be constantly monitored and cared for in order for it to continue to contribute to the ecology.

Conclusion

No one can imagine their existence without nature, as everyone is an integral part of it. All of society’s actions reflect on the ecosystem, giving the consequence that everyone sees in their daily lives. That is why it is especially important to take an active stance to improve the environment.

One must not forget about the peculiarities of the life cycle of plants and their needs depending of the kind of greenery.
