<p>Ten "ecosystem services" that come to mind. Please add to this list for things I've overlooked:</p>
<ol>
<li>Rhizodegredation of some contaminants (see Dr. Garrett's talk above)</li>
<li>Nutrient solubilization (2nd referenced article)</li>
<li>Nutrient and contaminant biosequestration</li>
<li>Carbon sequestration</li>
<li>Hydraulic and nutrient lift from lower soil profiles</li>
<li>Wildlife habitat</li>
<li>Rainfall interception and increased infiltration</li>
<li>Soil health building:…</li>
